Lightning War, Continued

On Friday in CWI, we finished watching the Lightning War documentary. We learned about how the Germans basically trapped the French and British in at Dunkirk. The Germans decided to take a break for two days because their tanks and men all needed a rest, so they figured why not stop? However, during those two days the British and French were able to get 300,000 of their men off of the beaches- which was about 41% of the total soldiers. They called in any boats that could possibly take men off the beach, and tons of boats showed up. Ultimately, they were able to save their men, but they had to leave behind all their tanks and weapons. So, the men were safe, but Germany had just taken over France. The end of the video leaves us thinking that Germany has just won this war. At that time he had taken over the majority of Europe, but we'll have to see what happens...
