The garden of Eden, the tree of knowledge, the serpent, the awful consequences - the whole thing recalled just the way it happened. Well, more or less the way it happened. One can't be absolutely sure. After all it was a very long time ago.

A story of an epic
The first of two programmes, compiled by ALAN HAYDOCK
Narrator Frank Windsor
Eight months after the start of the Second World War, the Germans launched their first offensive in the West. A fortnight later the Allied Armies faced disaster. Trapped within a rapidly shrinking coastal perimeter, they had only one escape route, the sea. Under constant bombardment, strafed by enemy aircraft, and menaced by mines and torpedoes, they were ferried across the Channel by a vast improvised armada of ships of all kinds and sizes. The events of the nine days of Dunkirk are remembered now, 40 years later, by some of the men and women who lived through them.
