The allied troops that did get to the sea, that is! Also not likely to be mentioned is Churchill's sacrifice of the Highland 51st Division.I hope there is a scene in which a french soldier quips that the British vehicles only have one gear and that is reverse.
This would be when the French First Army holds the line at Lille for four days despite being completely cut off, in order to help the BEF escape. Something that is glossed over in Britain.
It bought the time that gave the allied troops the time to get to sea.
Dieppe was worse. Canadians to the slaughter.
I never realised the British could speak french so well.
Kenneth Branagh and Spitfires, this film has a fighting chance.
