There were two movies about Dunkirk released nearly the same time? Were any of them good, both bad, or?? I’ve seen neither but don’t want to watch another “Battle of the Bulge”

Thank you; I thought it was a great movie, a fantastic movie, an inspiring movie.

I have that one, from 2017, and an earlier Dunkirk from 2004, and an even earlier one from 1958.

They're all very good, and well worth watching more than once or twice.

This is an interesting WWII story I saw yesterday.

Spitfire pilot Peter During was shot down behind enemy lines and convinced his German captors to become his prisoners.

Thanks for posting! I saw Dunkirk in the movie theater with my son. Just watched the two YouTube Dunkirk dogfight scenes on my big screen — both are great. Just heart-pounding watching that and thinking of those brave men who fought knowing they had a life expectancy of 30 days.

As an amateur WWII aviation historian, I looked forward to this. I was vastly disappointed.

I recommend The Battle of Britain instead: the aerial photography is extraordinary, and the aircraft are as authentic as was possible.

Inauthentic models of the real aircraft are usually necessary. Later production numbers exceed early numbers, and early versions are usually destroyed or scrapped.

You will not see a P-40B or C (epicyclic gear) in a movie; you will see the E or later (reduction gear). You will not see an E 109 (Daimler), you will see a post-war Spanish (Hispano) version.
