, 40,000 men, mostly british, were forced on the island of "dunkirk." >> stephen: "dunkirk" is there, then france. 26 miles? >> 26 miles. the entire british army were trapped there and the german forces had them under attack with land forces from above and sea. there was a thing called operation dynamo and it was to get the men back home. it was incredible and produced an amazing miracle which was to invite the civilian fleet of boats from the southern half of enengland to come and help. >> stephen: fishing boats. 15-foot both. >> 26 miles. 400,000 people, that's a lot of people. the expectation, the hope from winston churchill who had been prime minister for 16 days at that point was that maybe they would get 30,000 men back. that's what they hoped for. in the end, 360 people were rescued from that beach ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: amazing. and the thing is that this is the british expeditionary force, this is the british army. >> exactly is that you're all in here. if this force gets wiped out, it's going to be a much different war for all the allies. >> you're exactly right
