In 1940, the rapid advance of German troops led to disaster, and, suffering heavy losses, the combined forces of the British and French were forced to retreat to the sea near the city of Dunkirk. Nothing prevented the Germans from completing the brilliant operation, however, for unknown reasons, the command of the German army stopped the offensive, and about 400,000 British soldiers were surrounded. The British expected that the command would soon send a fleet to rescue them, but Churchill decided not to take any chances, and insisted that the rescue operation be limited to the evacuation of 30,000 soldiers, and it was decided to leave the rest of the soldiers. The entire coast was bombarded by German artillery, and if the British had dared to send a military fleet to Dunkirk beach, it would have been destroyed.
While the command was deciding which ships to send to the French coast, the British soldiers hoped for a miracle, but there were also those among them who realized that salvation depended on themselves. A young soldier named Tommy narrowly escaped death during urban fighting, but he managed to make his way to the beach, where complete despondency reigned. While waiting for rescue ships, soldiers lined up in long lines, and they were shot down with impunity by enemy artillery, as well as bombed by German planes. Tommy had almost no chance of escape, as he was one of the last to arrive here, but by chance the fighter met a guy named Gibson. The new acquaintance was constantly silent, from which Tommy concluded that Gibson was mute. In fact, the new friend was French, and by order of the command, the French were forbidden to evacuate. They had to cover the evacuation of the British at the cost of their own lives, and the young Frenchman, wanting to escape, changed into the uniform of a dead British soldier. From now on, the Englishman and the Frenchman will join forces to get out of this hell at any cost.
Meanwhile, the British command called on the civilian fleet for help, and hundreds of boats, yachts and small ships rushed to Dunkirk, fired at by German aircraft. In order to somehow cool the ardor of the German pilots, the British allocated several aircraft to cover the evacuation from the air. It was rather a demonstration action, since the planes that reached Dunkirk did not have enough fuel for a full-fledged battle, and they had to return without causing damage to the enemy. Pilot Farrier also participated in the rescue operation, and when he reached Dunkirk and realized the critical situation the soldiers on the shore were in, he decided to fight the Germans until he ran out of fuel, condemning himself to certain death for the sake of saving his compatriots.… Responsible gambling involves understanding odds, bankroll management, and the risks associated with different casino games.
