If the retreat fails, the United Kingdom will have to surrender. Germany, the whole world will fall, or the world will go to a different destiny: There is no doubt that Germany will occupy Europe, and the United States will not want to participate in the war. The Dunkirk retreat is not only a turning point in World War II, but also the world. This is a turning point in history. This is a decisive moment. The success of the Great Retreat allowed Churchill to infuse the people with the idea of spiritual victory, allowing him to encourage his army and make them resistant, even though this Great Retreat looked like a Surrender.

This order was actually issued by Field Marshal Gert von Lundstedt , the commander of Group A Army and General Günter von Krueger of the Fourth Army . They were the commander of the tank unit. The order was issued at the request of General Paul von Kleist , because at that time General Kleist’s tank unit had lost 50% of its armored units, and it took time to reorganize the team. Hitler only approved their decision, not his direct order to stop the attack.
Note: For this article, it is really interesting. There have been many controversies in history regarding the German order to stop the offensive.

Later, it took a long time to salvage the plane, but the shell of the IMAX camera was already filled with water. This situation not only destroyed the expensive IMAX camera, but also destroyed the more precious film. . In this case, Nolan used an old-fashioned film technique to keep the film moist, and then shipped the film to Los Angeles, where the film was processed before it dried out.
