Takoda Diver’s Reviews > Dunkirk: The History Behind the Major Motion Picture > Status Update

They lost about 937 planes, while the Germans lost about 278. There's a big difference in losses during that battle, and Britain was mostly put out of commission in the air warfare. The general of the German planes overestimated what he could do and very unrealistic that the plane pilots they had couldn't do it. When the British troops got back, the citizens were celebrating them, not knowing the full truth.

It's a pretty good book overall. It has different points of view and is constantly changing people and perspectives.It's more like an informative book than a first-hand point of view, so I would suggest that if you read this, be ready not to stay on one topic or person for too long. The airmen did not get treated that well by the troops because I guess they kind of sucked badly.

to dock and collect people by assembling several vehicles together on low tide and deflating their tires. It worked, and about 5 more places were made, so that's pretty good. The Brits took the ships away because they were important ships. They were afraid they would be sunk. At some point, the Germans and the Brits almost came to a peace talk. The British would have surrendered to Germany with some conditions.


:)

Talks about how the beaches were bombed and how the explosions from the bombs were mitigated. The ships that were hit by bombs were set on fire. When the plane pulled up, machine guns would light them up, killing several troops. Some just stayed in the dunes and made sand homes, so others didn’t even go to the beach and stayed in basements. Most did stay on the beach and picked up a place.They created areas for ships

Since they surrendered I think they lessened the harm on them.Also the Germans were so close to reaching Dunkirk.The only reason is that the allies stalled them by taking them a little so the Germans waited three days to start moving again, but the Germans were so close to getting their tanks and troops in the line of sight of Dunkirk, and the rescue would have turned into a massacre.good book :)

What I like about this story is that the story follows many people for very short durations.It also describes the background for a lot of the things it mentioned like why the British general pulled back his troops because he had a different thinking.Also the British and French were calling Belgium's king a traitor basically, but he had good reasons because Germany would have destroyed his cities and hurt his people.

During their invasion of France, they used dive bombers, which could have been easily shot down by fighters that were not yet available. The bombs had sirens that created a whistling noise, which frightened soldiers more than the bombs themselves. Many would retreat upon hearing those sirens. The text also notes that Winston Churchill might not have been elected if he hadn’t echoed the wishes of military leaders.

The older generation rejected Hitler's radical ideologies, valuing traditional German values. In contrast, Hitler sought to inspire the youth with nationalism, while President Hoover focused on empowerment through democratic values. A major difference was Hitler's cult of personality, which gained youth loyalty. Both aimed to revive struggling economies.
