I wonder how the movie is going to be split between the fighting leading up to the evacuation, the time spent while the Germans figured out exactly what to do with them on the beach, and the evacuation itself.

I always found Dunkirk interesting, because of two things. One being the fact that the war could've effectively ended right there if the Germans had kept pushing, either by forcing a British surrender to save the lives of all those men, or by killing them. And the second being just how resourceful the British people were in that evacuation.

It would have been over had Goering not been allowed to "finish" the job as the Wehrmacht was forced to watch. This allowed the British to pull off an astonishing feat.

The Wehrmacht was completely exhausted and way overstretched at this time. No one knows if they could have been able to overrun the BEF and French troops. It was a reasonable gamble to allow the Luftwaffe " finish the job". What was not expected was the fanatic defense that the Brits AND the French troops put up after such a tepid recent history.
I can't wait for this movie. One of the greatest stories in military history.

That would be amazing. I would too. They showed us part 2 in Rudder Theatre my pisshead year right when BoB was released. Just seeing this on big screen was awesome

I read Pegasus Bridge. I'm guessing Stephen Ambrose's family is raking in the dough these days.

Watching this and other recent well made WWII movies i am thinking...."I'd really like to have that uniform and kit".
They are dropping some serious change in the costume department.
