Looks good. I wonder how they will add a love story.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

Have faith.

Christopher Nolan skillfully ruined Batman; I’m positive he’ll find a way to f~~~ up World War 2 movies for us.

A friend and I were watching Fury, and I said, “I wonder how they’ll work a romance into this.” Damned if they didn’t.

Apparently the Director didn’t realize that Dunkirk was a smashing success for the English, and a catastrophic failure for the Luftwaffe. Hitler was hoping that by allowing the English to escape it would soften their position, and desire to prosecute the war. 330, 000 escaped and 11,000 died, 50, 000 captured. Most of the dead/captured from British forces holding the perimeter, not from the beach or ships. They lost 200 of the 700 ships and the biggest loss of life was due to a destroyer–not bombed but torpedoed.

Exactly. Hitler never wanted a war with England.
When Hitler rescued the ethnic German speaking Germans of Danzig where the polish authorities had been persecuting them and putting them in prison camps (for their safety),,,the English used that as a premise to declare war on Germany.
This is despite the fact that the whole area around Danzig was German territory that had been forcefully taken from Germany and given to Poland 20 years earlier under the Treaty of Versaille, which is universally acknowledged as one of the most brutal and war mongering treaties in modern history.
It’s estimated that up to 50,000 ethnic German citizens had died under the official government sanctioned persecution before Hitler stepped in.
The Treaty of Versailles was rejected twice by the US congress because it was so unjust. It has never been passed or approved by congress.

The strange thing is, that Russia invaded the same country, Poland, 10 days later, committing mass atrocities and slaughtering an entire generation of officers and England never declared war on them,,,,in fact they joined up with them,,,and never at any stage expected them to withdraw from Poland,,,,,lol

To this day, England has never explained their logic.

It is always the young brave men brainwashed into thinking their deaths, crippled bodies and minds mean something – by the old manginas and feminists.
Time we changed all that.

Romania had the same defense treaty with Britain and France that Poland did AND as a result of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk Romania ceded Moldova to Russia…well where is the declaration of war against Russia OOOPPPPPS sorry Romania you lose.

The Germans drove the English into the sea at Dunkirk, and if it was a success to evacuate them (and it certainly was), the fact that Germany then held Europe unopposed was probably the greater victory. Personally I never got why anyone with 300000 troops at their back, and an enemy with supply lines stretched thin across half a continent, ran away – but I’m not a military man.

I’ve always wanted to see a decent movie of these events, I have high hopes Mr Nolan will deliver.

Personally, I’d focus on Guderian, Rommel and Wittman.

^If there was no retreat they would have been strangled and supplies all cut rendering them useless. Besides this is before the Russian front was set in motion which required 80%+ of the German resources.
