The operation to save the British Expeditionary Force from destruction, as Hitler's panzer divisions raced to the Channel coast, was on a scale unprecedented in history of warfare. The story of the great evacuation is told, day-by-day, in this 100-page special publication in the words of those soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought and survived those dramatic nine days in the summer of 1940. The operation that came to be known simply as 'Dunkirk' was born from what was referred to as the 'Phoney War' but ended with 300,000 men being saved to fight another day. It was the first step on the road to the ultimate victory.
