The Dunkirk evacuation was one of WWII’s great escapes. With 338,226 troops evacuated in just nine days it is one of Britain's most famous moments of the war, and with the term ‘Dunkirk Spirit’ being coined in its aftermath it gave Britain a huge morale boost, ready to fight again another day.

In this film we hear from those men and women who were there on those fateful days, explaining what it was really like to be there, but that no matter how much they describe it, it is only them who will ever truly know the truth.
