The first part of the inside story of the actual political and military events during the three critical days - 26th, 27th and 28th May 1940 - that would change the course of the Second World War and world history.
The British army had been forced back to the sea and the French and Belgium armies were collapsing. Meanwhile, Germany’s Panzers had halted giving rise to suggestions that Hitler wished the British to escape.
This video takes a close and chronological look at the actual events and the fierce debate within the British War Cabinet that threatened to bring down Churchill’s fledgling coalition government. It shows a much more intricate story that the one usually told complicated by British manoeuvrings, French duplicity and Italian machinations.
Did Hitler purposely halt his tanks to let the British get away, and did the British come close to seeking peace terms with Hitler? This, the first of two videos, that provide an insight and the answer to both of these questions.
