"...the morning of 1 June was clear–good flying weather, in contrast to the bad weather that had hindered airborne operations on 30 and 31 May. (There were only two and a half good flying days in the whole operation.) Although Churchill had promised the French that the British would cover their escape, on the ground it was the French who held the line while the last remaining British soldiers were evacuated..."

Gort replied, "I must not conceal from you a great part of the BEF and its equipment will inevitably be lost..."
>Of course it's good to make a film about this important passage of history.
>But why does hollywood still need to do this propaganda?
>Why once again need (after Battlefield 1), on a product that sells internationally, show only English (or American) and ignore the rest of the world?
>Where is the interest ? profit ?
