In June and July , as the Germans gradually redeployed their forces, the air battle moved inland over the interior of Britain. Thereafter German strategic air operations over England withered. RAF Fighter Command aircraft losses totalled from July 10 to October 30 , including 53 twin engined fighters. All that could be attempted was a hurried effort to collect shipping, bring barges from Germany and the Netherlands, and give the troops some practice in embarkation and disembarkation.

  • The Battle of Dunkirk May 26Th 1940 – June 4Th 1940 the Battle of Dunkirk Was Located Just North of France in a Place Called Dunkerque Across the English Channel
    The Battle of Dunkirk May 26th 1940 – June 4th 1940 The Battle of Dunkirk was located just north of France in a place called Dunkerque across the English Channel. The speed of the German Blitzkrieg (lightning war) caught the Allies by surprise In April 1940, the Germans invaded France. They were so quick that the French and the British armies were pushed back to the beaches of Dunkirk. The troops were trapped between the German army and the cold waters of the English Channel. The only escape route was by the sea. There was a real danger that the entire British army (over 300,000 men) would be wiped out before the war had really got under way! On 27th May 1940 – the British government, led by Winston Churchill, put a plan called ‘Operation Dynamo’ into action. The aim was to evacuate the troops to Britain by ship. No actual fighting occurred, Dunkirk was an evacuation of the British troops caused by a German attempt to attack the British. The German‘s equipment was far superior to the French, British, and Belgian governments. So the British were forced to flee across the English channel. Events Leading up to Dunkirk: The border between France and Germany was defended by an series of forts on the Maginot Line. If Germany wanted to invade France it couldn't do it through there. England and France thought Germany would invade south through the Netherlands and Belgium. The British and French piled up against the Belgium border, waiting for the Germans. The German's waited until almost all the Allied armies had passed northward, then launched the real invasion south.

    THE BATTLE OF DUNKIRK 1940 DATE: MAY 26 – JUNE 04 1940 Belligerents Germany United Kingdom France Morocco Polish exiles Belgium Canada Netherlands Dunkirk, and the evacuation associated with the troops trapped on Dunkirk, was called a "miracle" by Winston Churchill. As the Wehrmacht swept through western Europe in the spring of 1940, using Blitzkrieg, both the French and British armies could not stop the onslaught. For the people in western Europe, World War Two was about to start for real. The "Phoney War" was now over. The advancing German Army trapped the British and French armies on the beaches around Dunkirk. 330,000 men were trapped here and they were a sitting target for the Germans. Admiral Ramsey, based in Dover, formulated Operation Dynamo to get off of the beaches as many men as was possible. The British troops, led by Lord John Gort, were professional soldiers from the British Expeditionary Force; trained men that we could not afford to lose. From May 26th 1940, small ships transferred soldiers to larger ones which then brought them back to a port in southern Britain. The beach at Dunkirk was on a shallow slope so no large boat could get near to the actual beaches where the men were. Therefore, smaller boats were needed to take on board men who would then be transferred to a larger boat based further off shore. 800 of these legendary "little ships" were used. Despite attacks from German fighter and bomber planes, the Wehrmacht never launched a full-scale attack on the beaches of Dunkirk. Panzer tank crews awaited the order from Hitler but it never came.

    FROM FALL WEISS TO FALL GELB Evolution of the Heer – French army A. POLAND – FALL WEISS TOTAL HEER TROOPS 26th August – 1st September 1939 : 7 Panzerdivisionen, 4 Leichten Divisionen, 4 ID (mot), 3 Gebirgsdivisionen and 87 ID = 105 divisions On 1st September 1939, the German Army is still immature, it lacks equipments and is far from being organized around the Blitzkrieg concept. The chain of command is still very classical and the armored units have not the importance they will gain later in 1940. 5 Korps include motorized units but there is no specific group dedicated to large mechanized operations beyond the tactical level. All the Panzerdivisionen and Leichten-Divisionen are dispersed. Only the 10th Army has in some concentrated mechanized troops, the Panzerwaffe of September 1939 is not directed towards a specific Schwehrpunkt of the front. The Panzerwaffe in Poland is mainly used in localized actions and not in big strategic maneuvers with several Korps working together. The Panzerdivisionen and Leichten Divisionen are then particular because of their fire power and mobility but in Poland their role is not the one they will show the world later. They made no fantastic breakthroughs; some Infanterie Division did as well without being motorized like the 10.ID and the 17.ID (XIII.AK, 8.Armee) which pierced the Polish lines without armored support on 1st - 4th September 1939. On 6th September they had reached Lodz at 150 km from their departure line. The Polish line was weak in that area and the point is not to show that is was easily broken but that the speed of the German advance with or without armor was similar.

  • The Battle of Dunkirk and the Evacuation of the Troops
    LKS2 Topic: WW2: A Child’s Eye View from the Home Front Block B: Dunkirk and the Little Ships Session 1 A Reading and Drama The Battle of Dunkirk and the Evacuation of the troops (Operation Dynamo) Read this to the class: By the 10th of May 1940, thousands of soldiers in the British Army (known as the British Expeditionary Forces, or BEF) were in France and Belgium, fighting alongside the French and Belgian armies. However, the German army had used their tanks far more effectively and they advanced towards the British Army very quickly. The British, as well as the French and Belgian forces, realised that they couldn’t fight very well against the Germans. They were attacked from the east, the west and the south and the Germans eventually trapped them around Dunkirk. They retreated to the harbour and beaches of Dunkirk. It became clear to the British that the battle was lost, and the question was now how many soldiers could be rescued and taken to England. The soldiers just sat on the beach, waiting and hoping to be rescued. Every now and then the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) would drop bombs onto the town and onto the soldiers on the beach. Say to the children that they should sit quietly and imagine the feelings of those soldiers. Explain that they had fought fiercely, but were now stuck with nowhere to go. Did they think they would be rescued? How would they have felt? What might they do? Split the class into two. Ask one half to close their eyes.

  • The Battle of Dunkirk
    The Battle of Dunkirk The Start of the War • 1st September 1939 – The Second World War began. • 10th May 1940 – Winston Churchill became the British prime minister. The Germans Advance on France Nazi Germany moved their army towards France. Allied troops, including the British Expeditionary Forces (BEF), moved to the eastern side of France. When German troops moved into Belgium, Allied troops did as well. The Germans Break Through On 14th May, the German army broke through a weak spot in the allied line and were able to surround the British and French Troops on the coast near Dunkirk. Fortunately, on 24th May Hitler unexpectedly ordered his troops to retreat. This gave the allies time to organise their evacuation. Operation Dynamo Churchill evacuated all troops stranded at Dunkirk. This was called Operation Dynamo. Over 700 little boats and ships came from England to collect soldiers and bring them home. Over 300,000 soldiers were returned home. The Dunkirk Spirit People still use the term ‘Dunkirk spirit’. Having Dunkirk spirit means: • showing determination in the face of difficulty or danger; • people working together. Winston Churchill made one of his most famous speeches after the Dunkirk evacuation: “We shall fight them on the beaches... we shall never surrender.” Winston Churchill, 4th June 1940 The Battle of Dunkirk On 1st September 1939, the Second World War began when Germany invaded Poland.

  • Appendix 1: Chronology of German- Focused Events, 1939–1941
    Appendix 1: Chronology of German- focused Events, 1939–1941 ‘FH’ in the following text refers to the diary entries of General Franz Halder, Chief of the General Staff, Army High Command (OKH), from August 1938 to September 1942, responsible for directing a force in June 1941 of 5 million officers and men. It is striking that as British anxiety about Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain, grew in September, German commanders including Halder were increasingly focusing on planning for Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Russia (from Halder, [1962–4] (1988), The Halder War Diary 1939–1942, pp. 155–310). ‘AB’ in the following entries (italicised) refers to Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, Commander-in-Chief British Home Forces, from 19 July 1940, and Chief of the Imperial General Staff (CIGS) from December 1941. It is evident that despite a range of intelligence suggesting Operation Sea Lion was winding down, Alanbrooke remained anxious about the threat into 1941 (from Alanbrooke, 2002, War Diaries 1939–1945: Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, pp. 90–132). 23 August 1939 The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was signed. 1 September Hitler invaded Poland. 17 September Stalin invaded Poland. 15 October German naval study set out the argument for an economic war against Britain, principally by sea blockade and siege; this was formalised in Hitler’s War Directive No. 9. 15 November Admiral Raeder directed his staff to examine the prospects for an invasion of Britain, this being the earliest recorded date of consideration given to the issue. 1 December General Jodl, Chief of German Army Operations, asked for an Army response to the German Navy’s paper on the prospects for an invasion of Britain; Goering, head of the Luftwaffe, similarly directed that a staff officer respond to the Army paper, but also confirmed his doubts about the feasibility of a landing; the Navy and Army papers became linked as Studie Nordwest.

  • RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES CASE STUDIES in the USE of LAND-BASED AERIAL FORCES in MARITIME OPERATIONS, 1939-1990 by William S. Hana
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES CASE STUDIES IN THE USE OF LAND-BASED AERIAL FORCES IN MARITIME OPERATIONS, 1939-1990 By William S. Hanable Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C. September 1998 PREFACE This is the fourth in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. The author, contract historian William S. Hanable, president of Research North, based in Westport, Washington, completed the final draft manuscript two years ago, in December 1996. Through a series of case studies, spanning a period of more than fifty years, he examines in detail the development and employment of land-based air power in maritime operations. Although the emphasis is on World War II, modern examples of land-based air power, through the end of the Cold War, are also examined. His conclusions are that historically land-based air forces seldom received priority in operations against maritime targets, nor—despite their demonstrated achievements in the crucible of battle—have the land-based forces been "optimally organized, equipped, and trained for air-sea warfare when hostilities began." Nonetheless, over the period covered in this volume, land-based air power has clearly transformed the nature of naval warfare. The influence of that change in the years ahead remains to be seen.
