Dunkirk 1940: The Nonexistent Deal. Is It True That Hitler Intentionally Let Hundreds of Thousands of Enemy Soldiers Escape in France?
«The Event That Changed the World» — under this straightforward slogan, Christopher Nolan’s «Dunkirk» was released in 2017. The film is dedicated not to the most hyped event of World War II in mass culture but to the evacuation of Allied troops from the French town of the same name on the English Channel coast, also known as Operation Dynamo. Amid the triumphant French campaign for the Third Reich, the Allies achieved the incredible — they evacuated hundreds of thousands of their encircled soldiers from the continent to Britain, enabling the kingdom to continue the war. Against the backdrop of successful blitzkriegs, such a Nazi oversight seemed unbelievable.
