Very good video and enlightening for those who think of the French military only as surrender monkeys. The French army acquitted itself extremely well coving the British retreat and evacuation at Dunkirk. A very proud event for the French army. They stood.

While in general the French Army failed badly in 1940, Dunkirk was the exception. There the French fought heroically and it is unlikely the British Army would have survived without the French covering their retreat. And of course we must also remember the sacrifices of the Free French forces under Charles de Gaulle who carried on the fight after the ignominious capitulation of their government.
