    Hitler made a devastating miscalculation at Dunkirk. If he'd allowed his tanks and infantry to advance to the beaches, very few soldiers would have survived. Instead he decided to show off the Luftwaffe, allow the planes to deal with them. They were effective against the some of large vessels, but the smaller the boats got, the harder they were to attack.
    I believe I read that something like 400,000 men were eventually evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk - practically the whole of the British Expeditionary Force. Had we lost them all, chances are we would have lost the war. It was a year before America even joined the war. Hitlers first mistake of World War II I'd say - fortunately, many more would follow.

      Well the germans had not expected to be that successful with their breakout and advance. The tank commanders were supposed to stop, but disobeyed and kept going past what their supply lines could handle. So eventually that caught up to them and they had to stop because they were running low on fuel and in a vulnerable position. Then later at Dunkirk the same thing happened, they advanced faster than expected and this time the tank commanders really did fear a counter attack, they needed to wait for the infantry support to catch up to them to continue. Hitler approved the order, but the Tank Commanders had requested the pause. It was smart in a sense, they didn't know a counter attack wasnt coming.

      Hitler didn't "decide to show off the Luftwaffe".
      From The West Point Atlas of American Wars, 1959 Volume II:
      "[T]he record reveals that Rundstedt -probably influenced by Kluge and Kleist - had recommended to Hitler on 24 May that the infantry continue the attack alone. The reasons for this incredible halt order are not clearly established, but it seems that Rundstedt, more cautious than the panzer leaders, was concerned with readying his troops for the campaign in southern France. Hitler considered the Dunkirk area unsuitable for armor; furthermore he seemed almost frightened by the magnitude of his success. Underestimating the British, he considered the Luftwaffe capable of completing their destruction."
      What cost Hitler the war was not even knowing he needed to replace Raeder with Doenitz in the 1930s and build the 300 U-boats Doenitz wanted.
      Doenitz almost succeeded in starving Britain out of the war - and he started with only around 69 boats.

    I have made this comment in other Dunkirk reactions, but the one thing you don't get at home vs the cinema, is that the cinema plays a constant, slow bass track. You feel it in your chest as much as hear it, and it gives an amazing feeling of dread. After 2 hours you feel exhausted. You can't replicate it without cinema-grade speakers.

      I can relate that:
      My great grandfathers uncle and 37 people from the extended family left between '27-´31s to build glorious worker´s paradise in Soviet union, were eventually shot by NKVD as traitors (small kids born in there were lost in system) during Stalin's purges that began in 1934. '39, rest of the family had to abandon all the land, fields and farms near Viipuri when Soviet union invaded and during the Moscow peace all family's land were lost forever. Because of Stalin, my family lost so much. Winter War 1939-1940 and Continuation War 1941-1944 cost 12 family members dying Soviet bombings, sickness or in war front My extended family was pretty much down to 7 by end of war. My Grandfather lived with nightmares of his service till he shot himself due PTSD in late 40's when alcohol wasn´t enough to suppress nigthmares. Every time I hear someone glorify Stalin or I see propaganda poster idolizing Stalin I feel like someone kicks me in stomach

      You have to understand: At least in America: People are ignorant and idiots. They've been brainwashed to believe that WW2 was purely "good vs evil" - There's nothing more to it. You were either on the "right" side or the "wrong" side.
      Poland being invaded from the east in '39?
      The ultimatum from Stalin and the Winter War?
      The annexation of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in '39 -'41 and what the NKVD did there?
      "Never heard of that."
      When this was happening at Dunkirk 22,000 bodies were already rotting in the pits at Katyn.
      Only because I had an interest and studied history on my own do I know the things I've just mentioned. They are not taught in school. Kids learn other things these days like how many genders there are... And that white kids are 'oppressors' and everyone else is "oppressed".

    @fubarghost13akawoz44 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    A good film to explain the lead up to this miracle is “darkest hour” from 2017. I love this film though it shows Britain when we had community spirit and we wasn’t just out for ourselves and we could pull off a impossible task. It also featured a little green fishing smak “a type of fishing boat” with the boat number LO41 the letters signified what port and the number what fishing boat LO stands for Lowestoft the most easterly part of Britain and the town a large portion of my family are from and where I now live. The fact we got a mention in this film even though it was something most people watching would never notice is such a proud thing for me as we are not mentioned as much in “the little boats” story yet so many of the boats joined the call. And having had family who was fishermen from the port is also makes me proud. “The picture is at 20:04 if you wanted to see it in detail” thanks for another great reaction and keep up the great work. Finally I’d like to just say… They shall not grow old as we that are left shall grow old age shall not weary them nor the years condemn them at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. 🇬🇧🌹

    Fighters were supposed to open their canopies before ditching for the reason seen here.
    They were probably more worried about the oil being pulled into the system that cooled the boat's engine than setting the oil on fire.
    There were other ports British and French troops were evactuated from, Dunkirk was the biggest and best known. The others sent off a good number of troops and also had close calls. Lots of other troops, mostly French but also some British, never got near the beaches. They were to the south, ironically driven back to the positions they had prepared during the "phony war". They had been sent forward into Belgium when the Germans invaded there. Then the Germans cut through the Ardennes and those Allied troops had to fall back fast.
    In so doing they lost a lot of equipment. By the time they were back at the old positions they had lost big guns, ammunition and a lot of men. Still, they held out as best as they could since they were tying up German troops, preventing them from either going for the ports or getting deeper into France. They did a lot of damage to the Germans but many of their own units were wiped out.

    my grandfather was a dunkirk veteran, lived just long enough to see dunkirk, and he said:
    "thats the first time anyone has made a film that puts you into the actual state of mind of us, i saw my own brother along with a dozen other lads walk into the sea and never come back, i saw lads younger than me staring at there guns with dead eyes as if they were ready to shoot themselves, and when those civilians arrived i saw tears and i heard about some lads that shit themselves from relief, the stress on that beach was so bad that knowing you would live was enough to make grown men fill there trousers like a baby with a diaper, this film really shows how hard being a soldier was back then and i bloody doubt i will see any other like it"
    he passed just 2 weeks after the premier, and hte last thing he said to me was "that films all i needed to know the hardships we went through will be remembered"
    edit: above my fireplace in a frame is a bullet the medics pulled out of his gut, he kept it because the nurse that pulled it out he later married, and as a kid he would say to me "i wish i could thank the german who shot me in the gut, because of him i met my lovely wife"

    There is so much that is implied about Mark Rylance's character that he conveys with just his performance. I know that they based him on Charles Lightoller, but he carries the performance so well. You can tell that he's seen some sort of military service in WWI by how he remains calm when his boat is under fire, his air of command when the men eventually board his boat, and how he understands the shellshock of the first man they pick up. Also, his (younger) son says his older brother was a pilot who was killed during the first weeks of the war, which would have only been about 7 months before this - the only time he really loses his composure is when they are trying to rescue the downed pilot in the water.

    all of the privately owned boats in Britain were called upon to cross the channel and try and rescue as many as they could from Dunkirk, Hundreds upon hundreds of small personal boats made the journey to save the boys, from fishing boats to pleasure boats. Many did not return! (not really shown in this flick, but the spirit is still there) It was the world's largest armada of ships and boats ever in history. Beyond respect to all of the civilians who put their lives and livelihood on the line to help those trapped soldiers from death.....The HONOR and sacrifice of those civilians, bares more respect to the human soul than words can convey, and to the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who survived, or died from the onslaught (Living Hell) of Dunkirk.

    In the history books in England. This is often referred to as The Miracle of Dunkirk. They were able to save over 300,000 British and French soldiers. It would have been very difficult for England without those 300,000 trained soldiers. On another note: Please consider reacting to the movie that is entitled Battle for Sebastopol. This would be a different experience for you. This movie is in Russian with English subtitles. The movie is based on actual historical event. The main character in the movie is a young Ukrainian named Lyudmila Pavelichenko. She became one of the most successful snipers in the war. She became friends with Elenor Roosevelt. The wife of the US President at the time. It gives a different view of the war. (The Great Patriotic War) One from the Soviet perspective.

    There are a few movies that are just "different" because of IMAX. This is one of them. It was made for the big screen. Some of the shots (especially the aerial ones) are absolute cinema eye candy. It's about as well done as you'll ever see. And the sound design is fantastic. This is one of the best movies I've ever watched in the movie theater and I absolutely love this movie. It did a great job catching the human spirit of people involved in the war no matter what rank (whether military or civilian). It showed some that had lost all faith (and trust), others who were willing to sacrifice themselves, others who started off as naive, etc. There were just so many elements to this movie that makes it one of the better war movies out there. It didn't 'wow' us with violence the way 'Saving Private Ryan' did, but the stories were still great and it's definitely an emotional film.

    Hi Dasha,
    A great reaction as usual.
    If you want a great story, with beautiful shots and cinetography I recommend 'The English Patient' which is one of my favourite films.
    It's set during WWII, but is a drama/romance and has a great cast: Ralph Fiennes, Kisrsten Scott Thomas, Juliette Binoche, William Dafoe, Colin Firth, etc.
    Juliette Binoche was also in another great film I think you'd enjoy 'Chocolate', which also stars Johnny Depp and Judi Dench. It's a drama/romance but quite lighthearted with a lot of gentle humour.

    One thing to bear in mind is that France and England are very close together. At closest it's only 20 miles across the Channel, and at furthest around 100 miles. The desperation of being so close to safety, yet so far, must have been agonising.

    Desperate men dealing with defeat or worse. War isn't all heroic advance from one victory to the Next. 500 RAF pilots fought off the Luftwaffe for a whole year on their own. Hitler's next decision was to invade GB or the USSR ... the USSR got short straw!

  • @johnchrysostomon6284

    The film aims to be as accurate as possible but there’s a moment where Mark Rylance as Mr. Dawson here’s planes coming up behind him and he says he knows that they are Spitfires because he recognises the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
The problem with that is the Hawker Hurricane also had the same engine.

    Facing an entirely occupied western European theater, the British and its Commonwealth were faced with displacing an entrenched enemy alone, until the United States entered the conflict. It was vital to get the well trained, experienced British Expeditionary Force back across the English Channel. Churchhill’s expectations were they would be fortunate to save 10,000.
    Meanwhile, on the eastern front, the Russians were faced with annihilation by the Nazis at the Battle of the Crescent Moon at Stalingrad. While Stalin was a poor military strategist, they were fortunate that the German high command learned nothing from Napoleon. Even so, the journey from Stalingrad to Berlin was won at a devastating cost. While forces on the western front were confronted by 2-3 divisions at a time, the Russians never faced fewer than 20.

    They stuck pretty close to the real events - the larger Royal Navy ships were too big to get close inshore and made easy targets, to a call went out for small ships and boats.
    Just about everything that would float from Dorset to Norfolk (you can look up those counties on a map, but it is the whole southeastern coast of England that was within range) responded - fishing boats, pleasure craft, light coastal cargo ships from Thames Sailing barges to the normally inland waterways Norfolk Wherries, Fire boats, Lifeboats, Motor launches, private yachts (both motor and sailing) and all set sail across the English Channel to rescue our army from the beaches - successfully. The "Little Ships" that saved an army are rightly remembered, and there is still an active Associaton of Dunkirk Little Ships, which verifies all vessels which can be positively identified as having taken part, at which point they are entitled to fly a pennant which is still saluted by the Royal Navy. About a Thousand took part, many were lost, but a surprising 114 still survive. The Honorary Admiral of the Association is HRH Prince Michael of Kent GCVO, and you can read the history at the ADLS website Here: www.adls.org.uk/history-of-dunkirk
    The Admiralty and British government hoped that 30-40 thousand troops could be rescued - 338,000 were, only the rearguard (one-eighth of the total) being taken as prisoners of war.

      The Royal Navy ships evacuated most of the troops from the mole.
      The "little ships" transferred most of their troops from the shore to the bigger ships.

    Yes, the civilians DID have to be there. They all knew too well that the war was coming to them whether they liked it or not. Every single Brit, every single French, all of the citizens in Europe paid, risked, suffered and lost more than we can imagine.

    It's a good movie but it could have been so much better. The real Dunkirk was almost completely destroyed. In this film the town looks like it's just a quiet Sunday and the beach was full of soldiers. Watch Atonement that's how Dunkirk should have looked in 1940
