| What would have been the psychological effect upon British society as whole if what was basically our entire army had been captured or killed at Dunkirk? We would have fallen within weeks as not even the RAF could have held off a German invasion. That rescue of troops through Operations Dynamo, Aerial and was it Cycle? (forgive me if i have got operation names mixed up, it is monday morning) gave Britain hope, we had managed to rescue hundreds of thousands of trroops from under the nose of the German Army. We had done it! We had survived, bloody and bruised sure, but to fight another day.
That rescue, which was typically British with the Little Ships, gave us hope.
