Dunkirk was the turning point of WW II.


I don’t see how. Britain was not defeated but they were out of action. The Pacific war had a turning point at Midway, but to say any one event was the turning point for the European war is difficult. Normandy? Stalingrad?

One factor that isn’t appreciated is the aid that the Brits were able to give to the Soviets.

Of course the Soviets don’t want to talk about it, but the fact is, and Stalin even admitted it privately, that without that help, there was no way the Soviets could have held out.
