From Phoney War To Dunkirk!
As Hitler's war machine swept across Europe, British soldiers were swiftly dispatched en masse to aid in the defense of France and to undertake a desperate attempt to relieve Norway. However, the formidable Blitzkrieg tactics employed by the German forces proved overwhelming for the hastily trained and disparate mix of veterans and inexperienced troops sent to the continent. Outmaneuvered and outgunned, they found themselves forced to retreat, eventually falling back towards the coast under relentless enemy pressure.
Despite the valiant efforts of many, the evacuation at Dunkirk became a symbol of both desperation and resilience, with numerous British soldiers saved from the encroaching German forces. However, for many others, capture became inevitable, and they found themselves enduring the hardships of life as prisoners of war under German captivity.
