  18. Example 1: Triumph at Dunkirk: British Troops return victorious to fight another day! I think Dunkirk was a victory for the British. Evidence to support this comes from Source 3 which tells me that “it is clear that they, (the soldiers) have come back in glory; that their morale is as high as ever and that they are anxious to be back again”. This means that they did not feel defeated and wanted to continue fighting. From my own knowledge, I know that 300,000 men were rescued and that this was a significant number of men. This was important to the long term future of the war because it meant that the men could fight again another day.

  21. ‘DOMESDAY AT DUNKIRK’ I think Dunkirk was a disaster for the British. While it is true that they did succeed in saving 300,000 troops and this is an achievement, I feel that the price paid was too high. Sources 1 and 5 both show examples of the failures. For example, source 1 tells us that a German pilot killed many soldiers while they waited on the beaches, “the beaches were jammed with soldiers. I went up and down spaying them with bullets”. This shows us that the evacuation was not quick enough. However, the German pilot is the enemy and he may have an unreliable interpretation of events, making himself appear more successful than he actually was. That said, source 5 supports this – I can see dead bodies in the photo and abandoned equipment. I can therefore infer that the evacuation was not that successful.
