The summer of 1940 was a dark time in the history of Europe and, for a few weeks, Hitler came close to winning World War II. Join Dr. Spencer Jones, senior lecturer in armed forces and war studies at the University of Wolverhampton, for this three-part series on the remarkable events of “The Summer of 1940." In this lecture, you’ll learn about the Dunkirk evacuation, codenamed Operation Dynamo, which resulted in the evacuation of more than 338,000 Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk in the north of France between May 26th and June 4th, 1940.
