Tips

The Battle of Dunkirk took place in May and June 1940 during the Western campaign during the Second World War. During the German western campaign, the northern French city of Dunkirk was the last evacuation harbor of the British Expeditionary Force, which was used in France in 1939/40 as part of the initially defensive strategy of the Western Allies.
The British and French succeeded in defending the bridgehead until they had evacuated over 330,000 out of some 370,000 of their soldiers in Operation Dynamo.
The capture of the city by the German Wehrmacht took place on 4 June 1940.

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials or war memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, anew for each generation:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind to keep the peace

Beautifully designed memorial on the beach and not far from the Dunkerque 1940 Museum. The Allied Memorial honors the Allied soldiers killed in Operation Dynamo: “In honor of the pilots, sailors and soldiers of the French and Allied armies who gave their lives in the Battle of Dunkirk May and June 1940.”
