Hey all! This episode tells the story of one of the most iconic events of the early war. This episode was edited by Daniel Weiss, who came on our team as a volunteer. We hope to get enough funding to be able to pay him a decent salary soon. Of course, all of you are already helping us make that and the entire production possible, and we can’t thank you enough for that. Another thing how you can help is by clicking the notification bell on our channel. While this might seem silly (as you can watch the video here before you are all notified), in a weird way it helps us with playing YouTubes algorithm. Our videos get recommended more when we have more people getting notified, thus more people watch the episode and more people will join the TimeGhost army.


We’d rather not ask silly things like this and focus on the content, but sadly YouTube forces us to get down to their level and engage in stupid ‘like & subscribe’ discourse and shameless selfpromotion. We’re just trying to get as many people as are possibly interested to get familiar with our show and even many of the old The Great War community are still unaware of our existence. I hope you understand!


Cheers,

Joram

Brexit at Dunkirk - WW2 - 040 - June 1 1940

When the Germans Panzers move north from Calais, the British Expeditionary Force and France soldiers still fighting in Belgium and Northern France are trapped between a numerically superior German army. A big operation codenamed 'Dynamo' is set up to evacuate as many as possible from Dunkirk.

Great episode. Two quibbles, though. 1) This episode perpetuates the "Brave volunteers and small boats of Dunkirk" narrative. The small boats were mostly not volunteers. They were commandeered and crewed by the Royal Navy. Only a few of the small boats were crewed by actual civilian sailors and of those civilian sailors... most were professional sailors like fishermen and such, not humble weekend boat owners. It's those sorts of popular myths that I hope would get debunked in a week by week show. 2) At some point, you need to have a video about the relative size of Chinese divisions vs. Japanese divisions. Someone might see 4 armies vs. 3 divisions and assume that the Chinese there massively outnumber the Japanese... but that wouldn't be the case.

We hear you, although we have to point out that nowhere do we say that they were leisure sailors - only that they were civilians, why might in the speed of things have gone overboard with "many of", sorry about that. In any case, we can't specifically debunk myths for the purpose of debunking myths, our method is simply be to tell the story as correctly as we can, otherwise we are in a constant mode of argumentative narrative. Sometimes, for the 'big myths' we do point it out though. Sorry that we weren't quite up to the standard on this one - we will try our best to pay even more attention to details like that. As for unit sizes we hear you loud and clear - it's a big one though when it comes to explanation as we can't just explain one of the belligerents, we have to do them all - either piecemeal or at once, so our thinking is dedicated video(s) as soon as we get enough breathing room to do that. Thank you for your feedback, membership, and contribution!
