Today is May 25, 2019, today in 1940, the British and French coalition forces held a historical retreat on this wide beach. 30,000 people were originally planned to withdraw, but 330,000 people were withdrawn,2.8 10,000 people were killed, 40,000 were captured, and today this is a white charming beach.

📍 This is the first time I came, but fortunately I have the patience of the staff to explain and have very good memories.
This is the memorial hall at the time of the Great Retreat in Dunkirk in 1940, the beach is very wide, there are many piles and tidal chains, which fully reflect the scene of the Great Retreat at that time. Think of the grand spectacle of millions of troops gathering and retreating here, and you must not miss Dunkirk.
