Forgotten Voices of the Blitz and the Battle for Britain

On the day Winston Churchill became prime minister, Germany launched invasions of Holland and Belgium, leading to a rapid advance of Hitler's Panzer divisions toward France. As the British Expeditionary Force faced retreat, Operation Dynamo was initiated on May 26, 1940, culminating in the remarkable evacuation of nearly 400,000 troops from Dunkirk's beaches. Simultaneously, Britain braced for invasion as the Battle of Britain loomed on the horizon.
