Dunkirk
The Story Behind the Legend
Investigated by Nicholas Harman
During eight days of May-June 1940, the British Army in France was evacuated from Dunkirk. It was a brilliant escape from a military defeat.
This investigation is not a military history; it looks instead at the creation of a legend and reveals that the truth we think we all know about Dunkirk is not quite the truth after all.
Those taking part include: Generalmajor Heinz Guderian the late Jacques Mordal and Dunkirk veterans in Britain
