d have considered this a lark sitting on the beach under a sunny sky but this was may 25 1940 and harry found himself waiting on the french coast for rescue while dozens of german panzer tanks barreled westward toward him and more than 300 000 others of the british expeditionary forces gathering on the beaches of dunkirk the germans had blitzed through belgium holland and southern france surrounding the allied forces and leaving them stranded on the coast rumors spread that ships from britain would soon rescue them but how could such an effort be mounted in time and for so many harry dared hope they d find a way in the distance he and every other soldier heard the rumble of the luftwaffe the german air force approaching again from the east quickly they spread out and hunched down small and tight to make themselves difficult targets there wasn t enough cover to protect them all meanwhile in england in spite of predictions that only 20 000 to 30 000 men could be rescued prime minister winston churchill had sanctioned operation dynamo on may 20 to begin on sunday may 26 vice admiral ramsay called for every boat or ship owner willing to participate in the dangerous mission to gather their crafts around dover on the southwestern coast more than eight hundred began to assemble 1 the plan called for smaller boats to shuttle the soldiers from the shallow waters of dunkirk to larger vessels and naval ships anchored further out that would then transport the men back to dover french ground forces and the raf would provide cover king george vi a man of strong faith received briefing of the plan and the dire predictions on may 24 th he called for a national day of prayer to occur as evacuations would begin may 26 within hours of that call to prayer hitler halted that western bound panzer assault just ten miles or so from dunkirk 2 in order to give the german infantry time to catch up 3 german general göring assured hitler the luftwaffe could decimate the beach stranded soldiers even though only one run per day was possible they had to fly from germany and attack quickly in order to conserve fuel for the return trip 4 on sunday may 26 th as the rescue mission began millions of britons overflowed the churches into the streets praying for god s intervention on behalf of their boys on tuesday more stormy weather grounded the luftwaffe wednesday brought uncommonly calm waters in the english channel making it possible for the smallest of boats to participate in the rescue and make the crossings quickly when the storms subsided fog rolled in the luftwaffe still couldn t fly in fact for the ten days boats and ships crisscrossed the english channel the german pilots only had two and a half days of good weather for attack even then their efforts were often stymied one group of about four hundred men suffered machine gun fire and bombing from about sixty aircraft not a single man was killed 5 another soldier related that many of his comrades knew psalm 91 by heart during the luftwaffe attacks they shouted the verses together 6 when each luftwaffe attack subsided the scattered men would return in orderly fashion to their places in the lines 7 meanwhile a breeze took the smoke from the german bombs and protected from view the soldiers loading onto boats 8 by june 4 the mission was complete yes there were casualties but the british had evacuated 338 226 soldiers including approximately 140 000 french belgian dutch and polish troops 9 battle of dunkirk 1940 by charles ernest cundall harry leigh dunmore was among them after a three hour crossing he and hundreds of other soldiers were loaded onto a train harry promptly fell asleep he awoke in wales 10 in fact trains took the dunkirk evacuees all over britain women s organizations provided food and drink at railway stations as the trains passed through once each train arrived at its destination the men were taken to barracks made ready to house and feed them

winston churchill world war ii 40 comments impact may 7 2026 by nancy ruegg chances are you ve never heard of dixie thompson she was the music director for one of the churches my husband pastored descriptors for dixie would include we performed i ll be home for christmas in 1998 that s me on the right gifted directing all aspects of a musical instruments choir players narrator stage crew sound technician etc and making it look easy talented bringing the best out of each participant good listener not interrupting seeking to understand unflappable calm under fire encouraging often writing notes of appreciation when i happened to be with dixie at a restaurant or store we d always run into people she knew and everybody wanted to talk to dixie she made each person feel important to her much sooner than we would have liked god chose to take dixie home to heaven she died of a brain tumor several years after my husband had been assigned to another church hundreds of people attended her funeral and the numerous stories told that afternoon gave indication of dixie s widespread impact does that sound appealing to influence for good the people around you in fact that s a normal desire the drive to significance is a simple extension of the creative impulse of god that gave us being we were built to count as water is made to run downhill we are placed in a specific context to count
