This video is part of a series that chronicles the greatest escapes of World War II. In the Battle at Dunkirk, the German army defeated the Allies, but the Allied forces made a successful retreat. This video considers historians' conflicting theories about why and how the British and French soldiers made their escape across the English Channel. Archival film footage, re-enactments, and personal recollections of survivors relate the dramatic story.
