Nazis Almost Won WW2
The war had been raging in Europe for the last eight months, but the Allies had not yet experienced a taste of the relentless Nazi blitzkrieg. That all changed in May of 1940 when the British Expeditionary Forces found themselves stranded in continental Europe while the French and Belgian armies fell to the Germans. Within a matter of days, the Allied troops were trapped by the invading forces on the coast of France and Belgium around a critical port that offered their last hope to flee. However, the British Imperial General Staff doubted that even 25 percent of the men could be saved. A desperate and near-miraculous rescue operation ensued, one that might have even saved the Allied cause from total collapse. In the words of US Army officer George Fielding Eliot: (QUOTE) “No purely military study of the major aspects of the war could do justice to the skill and the heroism of Operation Dynamo.”
