No. You don’t think about that sort of thing. You think about—just get those men home. They were trying to do something for us. You think, Let’s get them out!’It must be borne in mind that the generally accepted number of 338,000 rescued is a far cry from the numbers who might have been. Thousands were killed, tens of thousands were captured. While Dunkirk will resound through history as a stirring and stunning moment of heroism, it was hardly a total victory. Bafta Film Awards 2018: All the nominees". BBC. 9 January 2018. Archived from the original on 10 January 2018. Levine looks into how what was clearly a major military defeat was transformed into a national source of inspiration. He also offers a look into the culture of the time leading up to the war, some details of which I found surprising. He offers a reasoned explanation for England’s reluctance to engage in another world war, lets us in on the British view of the French military, and the French feeling of betrayal when the BEF opted to flee rather than stand and fight. He looks at decision-making by the Belgians who were in a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t position if ever there was one.
