Évacuation de Dunkerque

L'évacuation de Dunkerque du 26 mai au 4 juin 1940, connue sous le nom d'opération Dynamo (ou miracle de Dunkerque), fut la tentative de sauver le corps expéditionnaire britannique en France d'une défaite totale face à l'avancée de l'armée allemande. Près d'un millier d'embarcations navales et civiles de toutes sortes, aidées par un temps calme et le soutien aérien de la RAF, réussirent à évacuer environ 340 000 soldats britanniques, français et alliés.

Walking out of a Calgary, Canada, movie theater on Friday, where he’d just watched the premiere of Christopher Nolan’s highly acclaimed “Dunkirk,” 97-year-old war veteran Ken Sturdy was seen wiping tears from his eyes. “I never thought I’d see that again,” an emotional Sturdy, dressed in a jacket adorned with war medals and a military beret, told Canada’s Global News. “It was just like I was there again.” Sturdy, who is originally from Wales, is one of the few surviving World War II veterans who was at the Battle of Dunkirk in 1940. He was among the 330,000 Allied troops who were evacuated from the French town as Nazi forces made their advance. More than 100,000 British and French troops perished in the battle, according to the BBC. “I was 20 when that happened, but watching the movie, I could see my old friends again,” said Sturdy, who added that he’d “lost so many of my buddies” over the course of WWII. Speaking after the film, Sturdy said he’d been moved to tears for another reason too. “Tonight I cried because it’s never the end,” he said, referring to humanity’s inexplicable penchant for war. “We the human species, we are so intelligent and do such astonishing things. We can fly to the moon, but we still do stupid things.” Sturdy isn’t the only Dunkirk veteran who has seen and enjoyed the Nolan film since its release. George Wagner, a 96-year-old British WWII vet, told People magazine last week that the film was “very good” and “really realistic.” “When I saw the film, I was brought back,” Wagner said. Some veterans have noted, however, that the film was actually “louder” than the actual event. Actor Kenneth Branagh, who stars in the movie, said that about 30 veterans ― all of them in their mid-90s ― attended the U.K. premiere of the film. Speaking to late-night host Stephen Colbert, Branagh said the veterans praised the movie as being “exhilarating” and true-to-life, but said the film “was louder than the [real] battle.” “The noise of the bombs at Dunkirk did fall away in the air — it’s a massive, massive stretch of beach,” Branagh said. “But trapped in Chris Nolan’s amazing vision of this conflict, you can’t get away from the sound of the bombs.”

The world’s northernmost Francophone city is just minutes from the border with Belgium.

Dunkirk life is always oriented towards the sea, whether through fishing and historical fishing or trading. The port is still in operation today and also takes passengers through the canal to Dover. But for you and me the sea also brings the fun at the beach or exhilarating walks in dune landscapes. The name Dunkirk is also synonymous with the withdrawal of Allied troops from France in 1940, and there is a famous museum in the top right where the activity is coordinated. In the city of don cage miss, the UNESCO listed port buildings and museums with historic ships. Discover the best things to do in Dunkirk.

[toc]

1. Musée Portuaire

Dunkirk's 19th-century cigarette warehouse, one of the few war-torn historic buildings and provides a suggestive home for a museum that will tell you a long and fascinating story about the port.

Among the many exhibitors are those who devoted to the city of whaling and cod in the 19th century, requiring six-month expeditions to the waters around Iceland.

2. Beffroi de Dunkerque

All the belfries of Flanders are protected as on the UNESCO site, and Dunkirk’s is no exception. It was built in the 15th century to replace an old watchtower and was originally the campanile of Saint-Eloi church, which is next door.

The church was destroyed during a French attack on the city in the 1500s and only this tower remains. It’s almost 60 meters tall and you can go to the top for a fabulous panorama of the city.

That's a viewpoint you have to earn because even after taking the five-story elevator, you still have to climb 60 steps. You can see the carillon of 48 bells here and the mechanics controlling them.

They ring the bell every 15 minutes and at the hour they play a piece of La Cantate à Jean Bart, a song that has a special meaning to Dunkirk.

3. Plage de Malo-Les-Bains

East of the harbor begins the huge sandy beach of Dunkirk, one of the largest in the north and right on summer days. The Malo-Les-Bains behind it has been another town but has been a part of Dunkirk since the 1960s.

Next to the promenade is a chain of ice cream shops and restaurants where you can order mussels and chips and watch the beach disappear into the horizon. If you have little ones with you, treat them to a pedal-kart ride along the waterfront.

You can get a four-seater, each with pedals, and make it a family thing. These vehicles are a trademark of the resorts on the Flemish coast.

4. Dunkirk 1940 Museum

Bastion 32 was a coastal defense constructed in 1874 after the Franco-Prussian war to strengthen France’s border. And so the Allied forces coordinated Operation Motivation from this structure in May and June 1940 when more than 330,000 soldiers were evacuated from France.

The galleries tell you everything you need to know about how the operation was planned and implemented, and some of the events took place in a dramatic chapter of World War II.

There was a 15-minute gunshot during the evacuation, the mainstream militaries, like weapons and uniforms, and scale models.

5. Parc Zoologique de Fort Mardyck

Not the biggest zoo, but big enough to be able to introduce children to all sorts of animals without boring them. There are 40 species here and among them are brown bears, lynxes, seals, macaws, beavers, dwarf goats, and Griffon vultures.

One resident you may not know much about is the collared peccary, a South, and Central American mammal, distantly related to pigs, and able to withstand a bite from the most venomous snakes.

6. LAAC

Opposite to Dunkirk 1940, in the surrounding green garden, is this modern art museum housed in a striking building with white ceramic tiles.

There are more than 1,500 works to watch, dating from the 1940s to the 1980s, with a highlight of pop art (represented by Andy Warhol) and works by CoBrA artists from the 40s and 50s.

One member of this short-lived movement is Karel Appel, whose youthful, bright sculptures are displayed inside and outside. LAAC’s Cabinet d’Arts is also a pleasure, with drawers to pull out containing some 200 prints and drawings.

7. Tour du Leughenaer

  The oldest monument in Dunkirk is an octagonal tower, 30 meters tall next to the fishing craft on Quai des Américains. In the 1700s the brick tower was adapted into a viewing platform for the harbor, and then in the early-19th century a lantern was added and the tower became a lighthouse.

The old Dutch name means liar, and it got this nickname because some ships ran aground while being guided by its beacons. The theory grew that this was done intentionally so that the town could plunder them!

8. Dunkirk Carnival

  Dunkirk rib bonkers festivals have a reputation far beyond Dunkirk. The party is from mid-January to the end of March, but the time to be here is three days before Ash Wednesday. These are the “Trois Joyeuses” when 40,000 revelers take to the streets in crazy costumes (normally unflattering drag for men).

On Sunday, the visscherbende band, the parade through Dunkirk wearing yellow raincoats, played songs for everyone to join and dance. They represent fishermen who have embarked on trips to Iceland to catch herring.

And to commemorate this the mayor throws almost half a ton’s worth of smoked herrings (wrapped, thankfully) onto the gathered crowd from the crowd on a Sunday afternoon.

9. La Dune Marchand

Right up against the border with Belgium is an 83-hectare nature reserve protecting one of a number of dune systems on the coast of Flanders. In an ever-changing environment, there are more than 400 plant species, including marram grass, buckthorn, and dune grass.

In the spring you may recognize the song of the nightingales in the park, while in autumn migratory birds will make their nests in the long grass, shrubs, and woodland. Beaches, Plage à Bray-Dunes is amazing at low tide when the sand seems to last forever.

Come to the wind in the wind in the winter or the immortal fun with the family on sunny summer days.

10. Gravelines

In the 17th century, the town of Gravelines was located on the border between France and Flanders, then it was under Spanish control. After being captured and then liberated it became heavily fortified, and most of this architecture is still visible.

Inevitable, the man who called for increased defense in the town was the venerable Vauban engineer, who turned the Gravelines into a castle, set up fortresses and dug a network of moats that continued to take shape. of a star today.

The interesting thing about the Gravelines is walking the ramparts and checking out the arsenal, now a museum for painting and engraving. The town’s belfry is one of the 23 on UNESCO’s list.

Did You Know?

Trivia: Christopher Nolan cited silent movies such as Greed (1924), Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages (1916), and Sunrise (1927) as inspirations for 'Dunkirk's' crowd scenes: “I spent a lot of time reviewing the silent films for crowd scenes – the way extras move, evolve, how the space is staged and how the cameras capture it, the views used”. Nolan also studied Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut (1956), Pickpocket (1959), Saving Private Ryan (1998), and The Wages of Fear (1953) to dissect the process of creating suspense through details.
