Operation Dynamo: The Dunkirk Evacuation

We all know the story: The British stepped up with their Little Boats of Dunkirk, rescuing the free world off a sandy beach, ensuring they could continue to stay in the war. But the real story? A colossal Allied command meltdown, 40,000 French soldiers fighting to the death in an urban meat grinder at Lille, and a narrow wooden breakwater never meant to dock a dinghy—let alone 200,000 men under Stuka fire. This week, we tear into the miracle evacuation and get into the mud and madness of Operation Dynamo. Let’s dive in.
