Not to mention that the only reason they didn't get their **** kicked ALL THE WAY in was because Hitler ordered the Wehrmacht to stop outside Dunkirk for absolutely no reason anyone could tell (but which I understand was a power move against his generals as they still weren't entirely under his thumb by then) giving the English more time than they should have ever dreamed of to evacuate. If anyone at least moderately sane had been in charge of Germany Dunkirk would not have been any kind of miracle.
But it was a sweet ****ing movie that had me by the balls pretty much from beginning to end. It's a propaganda movie as much as just about any war movie is, but it's a pretty unique beast even so that's worth seeing even just as a movie.
