      unfortunately ...there are only the fallen and the survivors. And the uncertainty as to which of the two pulled the harder off. there may be succeeders, but never winners in a "game" where everyone has lost a son, a mother, a neighbour, a friend. I am not shure if old testaments bibleverses can give consolation to those.

    Fun Fact. Charles Lightoller was the acting 2nd Officer of the Titanic and survived the sinking. Lightoller would command a private yacht along with his son and a volunteer of similar age as his son to help with the evacuation at Dunkirk. The old man and two boys in this movie are actually meant to represent Lightoller and his small crew. They even use a similar boat, though not the original, even though the original is used as a small museum boat.

      @@weissfussindianer Kind of like that school shooting which the teacher a Holocaust survivor used his own body to barricade the class door and paid for it with his life. I think it was the college one up near Chicago. History is a series of chains that go back to the down of time. You never knew what a person will do, who they will meet and what effect they will have 10-20-60 years down the road. It's why every death is a tragedy. Wars rob millions of that chance as well. As the example I presented. One person who survived such a horrible event 70 odd years later saved many from another such event. If they didn't survive the first they wouldn't of been there for the 2nd, and many sons and daughters would of had grieving parents.

    Dunkirk was one of those turning points early in the war. The Germans had a LOT of wins early on, pushing enemies and civilians along their path. They'd encircled what remained of the Allied ground forces, and pushed them all into the sea. Dunkrik was the Allied rescue mission, turning every sea going vessel into a rescue vessel, to pull as many off the beaches as possible, and back to England and safety. It's a historic achievement. These troops were a lot of French and other nationalities, as well as some British. Many of those rescued at Dunkirk were recycled back into the war, to play roles in future campaigns. At this point, it really did feel as if Germany were going to win the war before it'd really began. Dunkirk was the first substantial fight back, to halt the Germans. Britain was the final hold out, and the war was now across the channel.

      a lot of wins? they were just stopped on the Meuse river at the same time, against an army totally desorganised. They fought street by street to take Lille cause French prefered to be surrounded than to surrender to save everyone at Dunkirk. Their only real success was to make Holland surrendering after 3 days of no resistance and erasing under bombs Rotterdam. Blitzkrieg is a myth by Goebbels propaganda that worked so well than 80 years later there is still tards to believe it. Facts are they lost 15.000 soldiers in may-june, plus 1000 aircrafts and around 800 tanks, not counting boats and submarines sunk in the channel and northern sea during Norway campaign, that they win only because allies prefered to move back their troops to defend France and Belgium. French and brits fought like lions with the poor commands they had. Again, the total victory in may-june 1940 is a myth.

    My father was a Dunkirk veteran. He was with the 32nd Field Regiment Royal Artillery of the British Army. He had to destroy his 25 pounder gun so the Germans wouldn't capture it. I still have the breach pin. He was evacuated late in the operation and was sent to India and later North Africa before being captured. He escaped once with a mate but was recaptured. His camp was liberated late in the war by the Americans. He married my mother and emigrated to the Canadian prairies in 1953 raising a family of six. He died of kidney failure in 1976.

    If you’re interested in getting an idea of how some of the men captured by the Germans at Dunkirk (all of them didn’t get off that beach; we saw Tom Hardy being led away, for example) fared, I would recommend STALAG 17 (1953) and THE GREAT ESCAPE (1963), and perhaps VON RYAN’S EXPRESS (1965). The WW2 POW experience doesn’t get as much cinematic attention as it probably should.

  • @Alte.Kameraden
    @Alte.Kameraden ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Honestly as a history buff this film got a lot wrong. One of the biggest was the lack of RAF support. If it wasn't for the RAF this evacuation wouldn't of been possible, but yet.. the film portrays it as if the RAF struggled to even get there. But in reality the RAF did a reasonable job protecting the beach from being swamped by Luftwaffe Aircraft. Both sides lost around 400 aircraft each fighting over dominance over the Beach. Yet this film the skies are almost always clear, and it shows just 1 Spitfire barely making it but in reality the aerial fighting around and above Dunkirk was more intense than the Battle of Britain.
    Another thing that also bugs me is the bomb explosions are tiny. Ju87 Stukas dropped 50kg bombs, 250kg bombs and 500kg bombs respectfully. Explosions you often see look like they're from 5kg bombs which the Stuka never carried. A single 250kg or 500kg bomb would sink most ships for example counting on the size unless you're a large heavily armored warship. Stuka's primary armaments was normally a single 250kg bomb or 500kg bomb, mostly because they existed to destroy strong points, bunkers, artillery positions. Dropping a bunch of smaller bombs wouldn't do the job.
    Basically the Stuka attacks should be less accurate but more terrifying in short.

  • @hellowhat890
    @hellowhat890 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Not in the reaction but... the scene at the end with "Where the hell were you?!" was the same guy that asked in the beginning of the movie, "Where's the bloody airforce?!" That character represented the real historical divide between the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Army.
    There was in fact a bit of a rivalry and hatred between the two branches. Most of the infantry rescued and brought back to England literally thought that the RAF had abandoned them. This myth circulated when a lot of soldiers stated that the British Air Force had abandoned them and provided little to no cover for them. In fact, it was the very opposite. The RAF barely fought over Dunkirk to provide air cover and to the men trapped in the beaches and at Dunkirk, they had no way of knowing which patrol routes the RAF were covering. Instead, they patrolled and fought mostly over the English Channel. They did plenty of patrols and intercepted as many German planes as possible. But the RAF was fighting in very overwhelming odds.
    The British RAF were also massively outnumbered by the German Airforce. As seen in this movie, Tom Hardy's character Farrier and Collins were only with Fortis Leader (Michael Caine's cameo). The three of them were tasked with patrolling the skies and only given a 40 minute fighting time at Dunkirk, which we see didn't exactly pan out the way they intended. Their patrol was understrength and also they lacked a full squadron. It should have been 12 fighters in their formation. This gave the misinterpretation that the RAF hadn't done their job or was absent at Dunkirk. That soldier's disdain for Collins was in fact showing how much the infantry disliked pilots. It wouldn't be until at least 1944, about 4 years after the Dunkirk evacuation, that the RAF and the army would start to be on better terms and get along better. History actually argues that if not for the fighter cover provided by the air force, the Dunkirk evacuation would have failed.
    According to the statistics listed by Fighter Command, Operation Dynamo which was the code name for the Dunkirk Evacuation was 9 days long, the British Airforce claimed 262 enemy aircraft kills while losing 106 of their own during the 9 day evacuation effort. The RAF had flown over 2739 fighter sorties, 651 bombing raids, and 171 recon flights. Surprisingly, this movie actually didn't show it but the British bombers actually were making attack runs on enemy german troop formations trying to close in on the people evacuating Dunkirk. There was a lot more going on that didn't make it into the movie but this is still a really great war film in my opinion.
    And of course, at the end, the guy is giving Collins shit for it. But Dawson steps up to comfort and reassure Collins that every man did their job and to hold their head up high for surviving.

    But then you get it from this perspective and realize the horror of the fact that he was trapped and was sinking. He was trying to wave for help.

    This is a very well done movie. I need to watch again. The biggest challenge was understanding the jumps in the timeline. I applaud the director's choice to use practical effects whenever possible (use of REAL Spitfires, etc). The biggest challenge of doing that with this movie is the beach is depicted as "too empty" at times. But it's hard to get that many "extras" to FILL the beach. Dunkirk was an amazing episode at the beginning of WW2. Thanks as always for the Bible verse. Peace

    The original Dunkirk film was a 1958 British War/Drama in B/W. It is a dramatization of the retreat to the beaches & the feeling of those at home. It particularly concentrates on a squad of soldiers & their uncertainty of events. While at home a reporter tries to make people aware of how badly things are going.
    Which leads to him using his own vessel along with the armada of little ships, to try & help rescue the troops. It stars John Mills, Richard Attenborough & Bernard Lee (best known as the original "M" in the classic Bond films).

Now I'm not saying that this film inspired any of the new Star Wars films or anything. But you watch Star Wars again and you'll essentially see similar shots to WWII movies especially when you have the cockpit close-ups of the pilots.

    Given your affinity for war movies, I highly recommend you watch Casualties of War. It's a Vietnam movie in the same vein as Platoon, very well done but kind of overshadowed by Platoon's success. It's good and, moreover, no one on TH-cam has reacted to it yet.

    Darkest Hour from 2017 with Gary Olman as Churchill goes well with this film.

    What’s annoying here is this: a) there would have been 300k plus people on that beach; b) Dunkirk (the town) was leveled by this time… not with intact buildings. However good this movie may be, it’s having a hard time keeping up with the “history” of it.

      That's because Nolan doesn't like using cgi it doesn't take away from how great this film is tho bit of a nitpick don't you think?

    Upon hearing the news of us (The USA) entering the war in late 1941: “Hitler’s fate was sealed. Mussolini’s fate was sealed. And Japan would be ground into powder.” - Winston Churchill. The Battle of Britain came after Dunkirk. While they did have help from lend lease, Britain truly was alone for that time until we were attacked. Thank God things turned out the way they did.

    Biggest complaint of the soldier comming off the beaches: "Where was the RAF ? [ Royal Air Force.] . The Spitfires and Hurricanes of Fighter command were operating at altitudes and deep enough inland, the soldiers on the beach and in ships never saw them. All they saw was the German air force that got through.

    The Germans had a large majority of the English Army trapped on the beach. They could have wiped them out in a matter of hours but the Panzer commander decided his division needed a rest, which gave the British time to evacuate the beach of some 340,000 troops. It could have turned the tide easily for the Germans, but thankfully they screwed up.

    There were still many British and far more French troops outside of Dunkirk. What happened was that the British and French had dug in along the Belgian border during the "Phony War". Then, for political reasons, the troops were moved up into Belgium, which was exactly what the Germans hoped for.
    Then the Germans attacked through the Ardennes which was thought to be impossible. The Germans were trying to cut the Allied armies in half, trapping most of the British and some French in Belgium and isolating them from the rest in France. It was actually a rather small force making this push and it was very nearly stopped on a few times. However, they succeeded and if not for certain delays would have reached Dunkirk first.
    Outside of Dunkirk, the Allied units had made it back to their earlier prepared positions, somemof them did anyway, and so they set out to defend them. Problem was that their units had taken losses and had had to abandon a lot of materiale during the retreat so they were in a weaker state. All the same most of the units fought very hard, and some being almost or completely destroyed. Their actions kept some other ports open where many men were evacuated from and the Germans fighting them could not be turned against Dunkirk.
    They were eventually overrun or forced out. Some made it further along the French coast and back to England and some had to pass through Spain to escape. Most of the French forces had to surrender to the Germans or went into service with Vichy France, though some also managed to escape to England.

    6:11 Historical Fact: That BF-109 pilot actually did way better than the first one that was shot down.
    German BF-109 fighters were meant to fly up to high altitudes. Once they spotted their target down below, they enter a steep dive and are supposed to attack, and when they make a hit or attempt to shoot, they pull up immediately and use the speed generated in the dive to climb up and escape before the enemy can retaliate.
    The first fighter looping around to try and chase Collins made a tactical error and was unable to shoot down Collins. Notice how the second one that suddenly hits Farrier goes up and disappears out of sight. Instead of chasing up and after, Collins and Farrier decide to stay down below at 500 feet where they have their advantage.

    “There won’t be any home if we allow a slaughter across the channel.” He is not referring to his boat and crew making it home. He is refering to that the UK will fall to Germany if they don't get their army home, thier country will no longer exist.

    A lot is forgotten about the many French and British forces that kept the German back so that the evacuation was possible. The germans coming forward to Dunkirk executed British soldiers rather than take them prisoner and likewise did the same with the French and other allies. It was a miracle how many soldiers of all nationalities were evacuated from Dunkirk. A turning point in the war and lead to the Nazi's first defeat of WW2 by the RAF.

    Shooting a plane out of the air is insanely hard compared to shooting a gun at a target. Forget the flying part, you have no idea where your bullets are landing. Bullets arc, and you have to lead a target. The planes are moving 350-500 mph in this era. It was rare to get a kill. It's all intuition and being able to lead a target.

    Probably one of the biggest mistakes made by the Germans was letting so many allied soldiers get off Dunkirk. The allies lost a lot of gear and material that would eventually be replaced but if they had of had their men captured or killed it would have made a huge difference. The Germans had a opportunity to come close to killing or capturing most of the British army and luckily they failed.
