This year is the 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of allied forces from Dunkirk (Dunkerque) in 1940 from the encroachment by the Germans.
I recently had the chance to visit the Museum Dunkerque 1940 Operation Dynamo. The museum is in WWII casemates with exhibits recounting the history of the 1940 Battle of Dunkirk.
It’s a marvellous museum which tells the story of the evacuation.
