Day 4 – Dunkirk
Experience firsthand the incredible history of the ill-fated invasion and heroic evacuation at Dunkirk. Begun on May 10, 1940, the epic battle was a losing operation for the Allies. A key Halt Order by Hitler gave three crucial days of breathing room to the Royal Navy to arrange the evacuation of the British and Allied troops in all manner of military and civilian seacraft. Roughly 338,000 men were rescued in about 11 days. Of these some 215,000 were British and 123,000 were French.
Day 5 – The Ardennes
Securing the port at Antwerp was crucial for the Nazis or their war was over. The bitter fight for northern France and Belgium, sometimes called the Ardennes offensive and ultimately known as the Battle of the Bulge, began with a surprise attack on December 16, 1944, and effectively ended with Allied containment of the German attack on December 27. An astounding 410,000 German troops and 610,000 Allied troops fought. The battle was the bloodiest of World War II, and the third deadliest in American history., with 70,000 casualties and 19,000 dead.
