|  jpm321 | Feb 25, 12:18pm | A nice short item summarizing the amazing rescue of 300,000 British and French troops from the beaches of Dunkirk over just a few days in 1940. These troops had been trapped there by the advancing German army, and it appeared they were to be captured or killed imminently. This chapter of WW2 is one of the major backdrops for the movie and novel, ATONEMENT.
