"Nazi aggression"Terrible movie ... a stain on the memory of the brave men who died in France trying to stem the tide of Nazi aggression.
The situation didn´t allow the escapees to "die bravely".This movie has a decidedly anti-war slant. But, instead of focusing on the horrors of war, this movie portrays British soldiers as dispirited and cowardly. British soldiers are seen pretending to be medics to sneak onto hospital ships to be evacuated. You see a shell-shocked British officer kill a young boy in a panic over having to return to Dunkirk after being rescued at sea by civilians. You see British soldiers turning on each other trying to get into a sinking boat to escape.
You never see the face of the German enemy, but you see plenty of scenes of British soldiers being bombed, being drowned, and being burned alive. None of them dying bravely.

Don´t declare war on Germany.
Well, should have then.The situation didn´t allow the escapees to "die bravely".
Actually, hundreds of British and French died fighting a desperate rear guard actions to delay the German advance and give the British 8 days to evacuate 320,000 British soldiers.
None of this was depicted in the film.

German-Polish relations are nothing of your concern. Don´t you know Comrade Stalin invaded too and took 2/3 of Poland? He became your ally. Germany invaded France after both the British and French declaration of war and the heroic phony war that helped Poland to repel the German attackDon´t declare war on Germany.
Don't invade Poland and France.

Very strange, indeed. Normally, a single soldier defeats entire Germany during a Sunday stroll in movies.Well, should have then.The situation didn´t allow the escapees to "die bravely".

I don't believe the point of the film was to depict this battle in anything but an unflattering light. I checked the credits but UFA and Leni Riefenstahl don't appear to have been connected with the film. Strange because it certainly appeared to be their work.
I don´t think that the Cold War was somehow satisfactory. Of course, Hitler had to be removed but the means used in the war don´t allow a side to be the good guys in the end. And while English and American soldiers enjoyed five star war captivity, tens of thousands of German POWs died undocumented in the allies´ "camps":German-Polish relations are nothing of your concern.

Ultimately, the war ended with a satisfactory result. It's a shame that many decent people had to die to bring German aggression under control.
tens of thousands of German POWs died in the allies´ "camps":
You are being undifferentiated. The ordinary German soldiers were not "the Nazis".tens of thousands of German POWs died in the allies´ "camps":
Must have been horrible for them ...
But I'm having a hard time working up too much sympathy for Nazis.
The ordinary German soldiers were not "the Nazis".
That´s not the point. The satisfaction was great when Hitler ended the regime of the Versailles Treaty. That doesn´t mean they were ardent Hitler worshipers. After 33, the Nazis did a lot of shit.The ordinary German soldiers were not "the Nazis".
Yes ... it turned out after the war that NO ONE was a Nazi. Strange, isn't it?
