Filming in Dunkirk took place at the location of the real evacuation, [32] while the street scenes were shot in nearby Malo-les-Bains because most of the buildings in Dunkirk were destroyed in the war. [69] Shooting times on the beach and mole were determined by tidal patterns. French labour strikes and regulations also affected the schedule. [16] Mithaiwala, Mansoor (16 September 2017).

"What's Fact and What's Fiction in Dunkirk". Slate. Archived from the original on 24 July 2017.I read this book AFTER seeing the movie. I would advise, if you have an interest in this part of WWII history, you read the book first and then see the movie. This bit of advice will appall the film's director, Christopher Nolan, who intends for his movie to be experienced from the point of view of 3 ordinary individuals: a soldier on the beach waiting for rescue, a RAF pilot in the skies above the beach trying to buy the soldiers enough time to be rescued, and a civilian boat captain racing across the channel to save those he can. None of these individuals has the whole picture of what is transpiring, none of them can predict the outcome of their efforts, and all of them are in constant, mortal danger from a steadily advancing enemy. If you see the film first -- even if you know the rudiments of the historical event -- you will feel often confused, alternately terrified and relieved, and spend a lot of time shouting at your fellow movie-goers (the movie is very loud), "Why did he do that? Who are those guys, anyway? Is he injured or just trying to hide?" Now that I've read the book, which includes a lengthy interview with Christopher Nolan, I understand that THAT type of experience is exactly what the director was trying to achieve, as it most closely resembles the experience of the actual participants in this pivotal moment in British history, based on extensive interviews with those who know best -- veterans still living who survived the evacuation at Dunkirk. When Britain declared war against Germany in September 1939, thousands of young men sailed across the English Channel to fight for their country. Among them were the seven soldiers who share their stories in this book. Some joined up out of patriotism, others for adventure or the prospect of a secure wage. They were fit, trained and proud to wear the armband of the British Expeditionary Forces. Those things slipped between the fingers of men who fought with all they had. Grit and honor. This piece of art was a good look at what war is like from the the pov of many different people. A slap of reality of what these men felt and said and did and how they cried and wanted to drown.

[116] [117] Marketing [ edit ]Dünkirchen 1940 by Robert Kershaw is a fascinating look at the battle and iconic (to the Allies) evacuation at Dunkirk through the eyes of the German. Dünkirchen 1940: The German View of Dunkirk recreates the atmosphere of justice restored among the German soldiers and reveals the shortsightedness of the German high command. As they advanced, German forces cut off all communication and transport between the northern and southern branches of Allied forces, pushing several hundred thousand Allied troops in the north into an increasingly small sliver of the French coast. The English town and port of Dover is located in the county of Kent in the south east of England. The town lies on the English Channel coast at its narrowest point between England and France. This narrow stretch of the English Channel is called the Strait of Dover. Tapley, Kristopher (23 January 2018). "Christopher Nolan Scores His First-Ever Oscar Nomination for Best Director". Variety.

What makes this of even greater interest is that the iconic evacuation was accompanied by, to Allied eyes, a curious strategical (perceived) error. By having a fuller picture from the German side, we learn the answers to our questions as well as a better understanding of what the larger plan was supposed to be. How the vast majority of this mass of humanity was rescued is one of the greatest stories and one of the true miracles of the twentieth century. Operation Dynamo provided Great Britain a second chance in the war, and was inspirational for the people on the western side of the English Channel.It is brilliantly researched and carefully balances the ordinary German soldier's view with that of his commanders, right up to Hitler. It portrays the harshness of the conditions rank and file German soldiers endured and their views - often contradictory - on the Allied soldiers they faced. It reminds the reader that in any war there are two sets of human beings suffering danger, death and injury. Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsay directed the efforts, leading a team working out of a room deep inside the Dover cliffs that had once contained a generator known as a dynamo (giving the operation its name).
