the German bombers, it tells the reader that there were men that were heroic and fought against the
Germans single handily. On the other hand, it shows how vulnerable the men were on the beaches,
and how ahead Germany is, as their equipment is evidently more advanced. The RAF also lost
valuable planes, in total 474 aircraft were lost trying to give the men stranded on the beach some air
cover from the Luftwaffe, the RAF was already out numbered by the Nazi air force so after the
situation in Dunkirk it got worse. This is an eyewitness account and a primary source. Cundall is an
official war artist so he should give an official representation on the events that took place which

both described the queue as orderly, and source 8 as they both describe the thick smoke. Dunkirk

Source B, that the military’s primary objective was to get out of France rather than to fight their way
back into it. While Allied troops awaited their inevitable fate, preparations for the evacuation began;
named Operation Dynamo, commanded by Vice-Admiral Bertram Ramsay began May 22, 1940. I
feel that this shows that the Battle of Dunkirk was condemned to an Allied failure. It is unlikely that
they were really that cramped, otherwise movement would have been challenging. This source is
written by an RAF pilot therefore it is only one person’s account and he also might have been
traumatised by the whole event. This would take great organization and co-operation to execute.

small section of the beach but from my knowledge I know that 2,472 guns, 90,000 rifles, 63,879
vehicles and 20,548 motorcycles were left not including over 500,000 tons of ammunition. On the
first five days of the evacuation, about 106,000 men were saved. Without them, the British war
effort would have been significantly hampered. There isn’t sufficient evidence to rule anything out.
He says that the soldiers have become “a body of seasoned veterans”.This source really tells us a lot
about the use of propaganda spread out. The public just listened to their government and believed
what they were saying, this proved that propaganda was a successful method. This source came

that helped the evacuation was “luck”, there was a cloud of smoke, and 47,310 men were saved
because the smoke delayed the Nazi attacks on evacuating the boats. How useful are sources A, B
and C in understanding what the battle of Dunki. It is trying to show the French how the British are
unfaithful as they betrayed the French troops and left them to face the Nazis by themselves while

men were moved on the first day, which makes this source reliable. On 17 th June 1940 British
troopship lancastria was sunk of the Brittany of port of Saint- Nazaire, more than 3000 people lost
