The Real Story of the British Army after Dunkirk

If you think you know Dunkirk… think again. Little ships. Narrow escape. Britain saved. But that’s not the full picture. Because when the last boats pulled away, over 100,000 British troops were still in France. Not escaping. Not surrendering. Still fighting. Cut off. Outnumbered. Thrown together into scratch units. Clerks, cooks, tank crews, Highland regiments, even a Canadian brigade was sent out. All of them holding the line in a desperate and almost completely forgotten campaign. This is the story after Dunkirk. In this video, we explore the battles that followed the evacuation, including the little-known return of a second BEF to France in 1940. It’s a remarkable chapter of the Second World War that rarely gets the attention it deserves. Featuring historian Paul Fantom, author of A Forgotten Campaign: The British Armed Forces in France 1940 – From Dunkirk to the Armistice, this interview dives into the men who stayed behind and the fighting that continued long after the beaches were cleared.
