What Was It Really Like On The Beaches Of Dunkirk? | Both Sides

Winston Churchill called Dunkirk a 'colossal military disaster', but the Dunkirk evacuation, codenamed Operation Dynamo, was a pivotal point in World War II, when through a combination of Allied organisation and German confusion, they were able to rescue and evacuate over 300,000 soldiers. In this episode of Both Sides of the Line, a British and German soldier who were both present on the beaches of Dunkirk discuss what it was like to be there.
