Alongside the British Naval vessels, a flotilla of smaller craft, ranging from tiny rowing boats to paddle steamers, made the hazardous crossing over the English Channel between 27th May and the 3rd June. Skippered by brave civilians the more manoeuvrable small boats were able to lift the men from the shallow waters and transport them either to the waiting Navy ships, or in some cases, take the weary soldiers all the way back to England. The Admiralty had estimated they would be able to save 30,000 men, but with the self-less effort of the boating enthusiasts who risked life and limb to rescue their fellow countrymen, more than a third of a million troops were safely brought home to fight an other day. For the People of Great Britain, although the rescue from Dunkirk had boosted morale tremendously, it was nonetheless a victory for Adolf Hitler, and paved the way for his plans to invade the British Isles. Yet from a strategic point of view it is a fascinating marker of Hitler's errors of judgement, even if it appeared he was on a winning run."Escape from Dunkirk" tells of this remarkable episode from World War II history, which proved beyond doubt that courage in the face of adversity could triumph, even against seemingly impossible odds.
