During the Battle of Dunkirk in 1940, German forces successfully
cut off several units of British, French and Canadian troops from
supporting forces and supplies. Nearly 350,000 Allied troops were
left stranded on the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk, in France,
amounting to what Winston Churchill called "the whole root, core,
and brain of the British Army." Between May 26 and June 4, 1940, in
what was named Operation Dynamo, a total of 338,226 soldiers were
rescued by hastily assembled boats to British destroyers and other
large ships or directly back to England.
This book fills a gap in Osprey's coverage of World War II, as no
Campaign titles have yet covered the Dunkirk evacuation, and,
unlike previous treatments of the subject, provides a description
and assessment of the operation from an operation perspective.
Author Doug Dildy relates the various overlapping and
interconnected struggles--land forces vs. land forces, air forces
vs. air forces, air forces vs. naval forces, all in a race against
time--and their operational impacts on one another in one coherent,
coordinated volume.
