Britain In 1940 (Evacuation at Dunkirk)

[mrclark303]

These personal stories from this pivotal point in World history really are fascinating.

Had Britain been forced to the negotiation table, (invasion would likely have failed and the Germans knew it) and an accommodation reached with Germany, 20th century history would have been quite different..

I've always been sceptical regarding the rifle shortage. The reality was there were still many hundreds of thousands of Enfield's in storage from WW1 after Dunkirk. I've always been of the impression that the big 'gun drive' from the the US was more of an attempt to win over the American public, part of dragging Uncle Sam into the war.
