- On May 16th, the Allied forces in France were caught off guard by the German Panzer divisions which circumvented the Maginot line by driving through the Ardennes Forest. What followed was a hasty retreat for the British Expeditionary Force, or BEF, and other Allied forces.
After suffering a heavy onslaught at the hands of the advancing German army, the troops were stranded on the beach at Dunkirk. Initial attempts to rescue the encircled army proved to be too slow, with only 39 British and 4 Canadian Royal Navy Destroyers. It became obvious to the admiralty that the evacuation needed support and so the public were called upon to lend a hand.
What followed has been described as the Miracle of Dunkirk. What was so miraculous about this stunning escape?
Highlights:

2:35 - Any change in the weather would have meant disaster

Overcast is a tricky little demon. I remember in ‘74 me and the missus were traveling down to Murflesberg from Winnetka, we had overcast til we got to Omaha. Stopped for a flat tire check in Wyandotte (I’m a stickler for road safety), got maybe ten clicks then wooden cha know it, more overcast. Then fortune smiled and it was stratocumulus all the way. On a side note, I find that double- insulated thermoses will keep your road beverage of choice below 36 F for 16 minutes longer than standard single. Ran three separate trials in Conwayville so I know. Many’s the regretful s.o.b. who’s had the clangers to challenge me in a therm-off. Sorry I get a little carried away when discussing temperature variations in liquids. I miss those undergraduate days at U of I in the goddess of all sciences: Hydraulics.
Mais le"temps calme"et le brouillard n'ont pas empêché les soldats français de faire leur devoir afin de faciliter l'évacuation des troupes britanniques cher Monsieur.
Il faut vous en souvenir!!
God is good, always.
