Podcasts about operation dynamo

At the start of World War II, France was still a world power. The U.S. and many other nations were relying on the French, along with their ally Britian, to stop Hitler. But in just 6 weeks in May and June 1940, the Germans conquered France, Belgium, and The Netherlands; and drove the British off of continental Europe. The incredibly swift German victory completely changed the balance of power in the world; and woke up the isolationist United States.

Mellan den 27 maj och 4 juni 1940 genomfördes en av militärhistoriens mest spektakulära evakueringar. Med hjälp av provisoriskt byggda kajplatser, flodpråmar och privata lustbåtar lyckades britterna evakuera över 330 000 soldater från stränderna vid Dunkirk i nordöstra Frankrike, över till Dover och andra hamnar i Storbritannien. Samtidigt pressade tyska pansartrupper på, och Luftwaffe terroriserade stränderna.I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden diskuterar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt ”Operation Dynamo”, evakueringen av British Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.) från Dunkirk under den tyska invasionen av Frankrike.Operationen inleddes den 27 maj, mitt under Hitlers offensiv. Från de brittiska öarna sändes kommendörkapten William Tennant över för att organisera arbetet. Väl på plats kunde Tennant konstatera att situationen var katastrofal. Stranden var fylld med tusentals soldater, och fler var på väg in. Luften var tjock av rök, och tillståndet bland soldaterna var uselt. Det fanns inget dricksvatten och ingen proviant. Samtidigt fortsatte tyska Luftwaffe att bomba staden och stranden, och soldaterna var värnlösa. Luftvärnskanonerna hade förstörts för att inte falla i tyskarnas händer, och hamnen hade bombats så svårt att inga större båtar längre kunde lägga till. Stranden var dessutom för långgrund för att möjliggöra angöring i dess närhet. Ebb och flod orsakade ytterligare praktiska problem.Det enda de kunde göra var att tillkalla så många flatbottnade båtar som möjligt. Tennant gav order om att soldaterna skulle ställa sig på led och vada ut i vattnet tills mindre båtar kunde plocka upp dem och föra dem ut på öppet vatten, där större fartyg väntade för att ta dem vidare till England. Trots de svåra förhållandena gick evakueringen oväntat bra. Under de första dagarna i juni kunde över 60 000 personer evakueras varje dag, och den 4 juni hade mer eller mindre hela B.E.F., samt mer än 100 000 franska soldater, evakuerats. Avgörande för insatsen var de många hundra privata lustbåtar som, med livet som insats, gav sig ut över Engelska kanalen för att hjälpa till.Trots att operationen markerade slutpunkten på ett totalt misslyckande i britternas försök att stoppa de invaderande tyskarna på kontinenten, blev den i slutändan något av en propagandaseger. Churchills tal i parlamentet den 4 juni 1940 satte tonen för de kommande åren och manade det brittiska folket att stålsätta sig inför vad som var på väg att ske i Europa. Ur ett tyskt perspektiv var evakueringen snarare ett bevis på den förestående segern. Hitler var övertygad om att detta innebar slutet för brittisk intervention i Europa och att han snart skulle kunna vända sig ostört österut för nästa uppgörelse. Så skulle det dock inte bli.Bild: Dunkirk 26–29 maj 1940: Brittiska trupper ställer upp på stranden vid Dunkirk i väntan på evakuering. Wikipedia.

This week on Time on Screen, we're talking about Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk in an episode sponsored by our friends at William Wood Watches. In celebration of the release of their most ambitious watch to date, William Wood CEO Jonny Garrett joined Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr on stage at the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair to talk about Nolan's film and share the story of the Dunkirk Watch. The new limited edition watch was made in partnership with and in tribute to the Massey Shaw, a London Fire Brigade Fire Boat that played an important role in evacuating British forces from Dunkirk Beach in the early stages of World War II. The watch is filled with small and large tributes to the Massey Shaw. The dial is modeled after the telegraph found in the wheelhouse of the Massey Shaw used by the Captain on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel, for example. And each example of the Dunkirk Watch will have a small piece of the Massey Shaw's engine fitted into the caseback, which depicts Operation Dynamo, the plan that led to the historic evacuation.In this episode, you'll hear Zach, Jonny, and Kyle discuss what Dunkirk means to them, and why they feel it's among Nolan's best films. And Jonny goes into detail about the making of the Dunkirk Watch, including his experience onboard the actual Massey Shaw, which is currently being refurbished ahead of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. William Wood Watches have donated £10,000 GBP to the Massey Shaw Partnership Trust to help fund this effort, which will see the Massey Shaw cross the English Channel next year along with other “Little Ships” that were part of Operation Dynamo to commemorate the anniversary. You can find out more about the Dunkirk Watch and purchase one at the William Wood Watches website.

When school friends Stanley and Peter boarded a cabin cruiser in 1940, little did they know they'd play a part in the Dunkirk evacuation It was the Second World War rescue mission that Winston Churchill called a ‘miracle of deliverance'. The port of Dunkirk was destroyed – its beaches the only escape route for nearly 340,000 retreating allied troops.  Shallow waters meant that big ships couldn't get close enough for a mass evacuation. Only the smallest of vessels could reach the shattered soldiers. Responding to a request by Britain's Ministry of Shipping, an armada of 700 little boats – including pleasure craft and private yachts – quickly formed. Among the volunteers were RNLI crews from Ramsgate and Margate. And, as chance would have it, aboard a cabin cruiser, 8-year-old Stanley Holtom and his friend, Peter. This is the story of how two little boys came to take part in Operation Dynamo.

We shall save them on the beaches: RNLI Archivist John Ray on the Ramsgate crew who braved bombs and bullets at Dunkirk The sea is daunting enough. But perhaps never more so than in May, 1940, when two RNLI lifeboat crews launched into WW2. Joining an armada of 700 ‘little ships', the volunteers embarked on Operation Dynamo. Evading enemy submarines, bursting shells and raging fires, the two crews ferried 3,400 troops to safety. When people talk of Dunkirk spirit, they are talking about the kind of spirit showed by the lifeboat crews of Ramsgate and Margate.  Discover more about the RNLI's involvement in Operation Dynamo  200 Voices is produced by Adventurous Audio for the RNLI Interview by Adventurous Audio Soundtrack composed and performed by Jon Nicholls The RNLI is a charity celebrating 200 years of saving lives at sea - find out more at RNLI.org/200

Our guest for this episode of the Warships Pod is Dr. Philip Weir, a much esteemed naval historian who specialises in the history of the Royal Navy in the first half of the 20th Century. His most recent book is ‘Dunkirk and the Little Ships'.  Discussing that famous event is the major topic during his chat with podcast host Iain Ballantyne. In looking at the ‘miracle of Dunkirk' of May and June 1940 - a story that still grips peoples' imaginations even more than 80 years later – Iain asks Phil if it is just another example of the British turning a military disaster into some kind of triumph? Or a bona fide victory in the face of impossible odds? Iain also asks if the role of the famed ‘little ships', in what was called Operation Dynamo, is misunderstood. What impact did they really have on the evacuation effort? And what exactly were ‘the Little Ships'? Also, has the Royal Navy's major contribution to (and sacrifice in) Operation Dynamo been overlooked? Among the other things Iain and Phil discuss is the greater role of the Royal Navy in that so-called ‘Spitfire summer' of 1940. Has the Royal Navy's major part, in deterring a cross-Channel invasion by the Germans while fighting the U-boats in the Atlantic, been unjustly consigned to the shadows of our collective memory? The career of the remarkable Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay - the man who commanded Operation Dynamo - is also discussed. Aside from also chatting about notable movie depictions of the Dunkirk evacuation Iain asks Phil if he was given the chance to save and preserve any warship from the past, which vessel would it be and why? The answer may be a surprise… •For more details on Phil Weir's book about the heroic Dunkirk evacuation https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/dunkirk-and-the-little-ships-9781784423759/ Follow him on Twitter @navalhistorian • Iain Ballantyne is the Editor of WARSHIPS International Fleet Review magazine.

In May 1940, over 800 private little ships were sent to war as part of Operation Dynamo. Their mission was to evacuate British and French troops from Dunkirk. Some of those ships taking part in the evacuation were from the Essex coast. The six from Leigh-on-Sea; Renown, Reliant, Leticia, Resolute, Defender and Endeavour were volunteered for service by their crews who sailed them rather than being requisitioned by the Royal Navy. In total 338,000 troops were rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk, however some 250 little boats were lost and never returned. One of the Leigh little ships that did return to Essex was Endeavour. This cockle bawley has since been restored and can been see just off the coast of Old Leigh as well as in the 2017 film 'Dunkirk'. In this episode, Chris Burls from the Leigh on Sea Endeavour Trust tells Owen all about this little ship's big history.

May 27, 1940. During World War Two, the British Military launches Operation Dynamo, pulling out hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers from the French port city of Dunkirk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On May 26, 1940, the evacuation of Dunkirk began. Code-named Operation Dynamo, the evacuation and about 70,000 fallen soldiers saved 338,000 lives -- and it may have saved the Allied Powers as well. This week, PPFA talks about it even though it has nothing to do with politics. Sorry. Nevertheless, heading into Memorial Day weekend, it feels appropriate to remember one of history's great military sacrifices and acts of heroism and ingenuity. Here is the map referenced in the episode: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk_evacuation#/media/File%3A16May-21May_Battle_of_Belgium.PNG

June 4th, 1940 marked the final day of "Operation Dynamo," the evacuation of allied forces from Dunkirk, a MIRACLE in the face of a "colossal military disaster." The Battle of France, a 6-week blitzkrieg was ending as a rout, a near total defeat. The evacuation at Dunkirk presaged the surrender of France on June 22nd. It fell upon Churchill to temper the jubilation and relief with the stark reality of defeat and the bleak prospects of the Battle of Britain looming on the horizon. This speech in its historical context is deservedly considered one of the greatest in world history. We must never forget that darkness looms, and our resolve to fight on despite its apparent victory is the greatest mark of a people's character.

On the 26th of May 1940, the Royal Navy launched Operation Dynamo. Headquartered in the tunnels running under Dover Castle, the aim of the operation was to evacuate the standard British Expeditionary Force from the beaches of Dunkirk in France. The British, French and Belgian forces had been locked in a protracted struggle against the advancing lines of German tanks and troops that made their way through the Netherlands and Luxembourg, cutting through wide swathes of territory and forcing the Allies into a hasty and confused retreat. On the 20th of May, the decision was made to order all British troops to Dunkirk from where they would be evacuated to safety. The operation went on to gain notoriety as the greatest military evacuation in history and was dubbed the Miracle of Dunkirk. Join us this week as we take a closer look at this fascinating story. 

Operation Dynamo, a nonprofit based in Tampa, has assembled a team including many veterans and intelligence experts to get Americans and others out of Ukraine. Spokesman James Judge gives us an update.

In this episode of WARSHIPS POD host, Iain Ballantyne chats with Jack Lowe, who connects with the sea while working as a documentarist ‘using photography, audio, film, and words to shine a light on the greatness of others' (as Jack himself puts it). Jack's main pursuit in recent times has been The Lifeboat Station Project, which he describes as a mission to ‘photograph all 238 RNLI lifeboat stations on glass.'  Since 2014 he has traveled in Neena, an ambulance converted into a mobile darkroom in which he weaves his magic with glass plates. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jack had managed to visit 150 of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) stations around the coast of the United Kingdom plus Ireland and hopes to resume his photographic odyssey later this year. In this podcast episode, Iain discusses with Jack how his RNLI work has brought him into contact with an amazing Dunkirk ‘little ship' that in the summer of 1940 - as the Second World War raged - took part in the Operation Dynamo evacuation of British and allied troops from France.  Among other topics, Iain and Jack touch on during their lively conversation are movies about the Dunkirk evacuation; interlinked aspects of the RNLI and Royal Navy; H.M. Coast Guard's SAR helicopters; the enduring seafaring character of Britons, whether in the RNLI or RN, along with things in common of how the two organizations train to tackle their demanding missions.  • Iain Ballantyne is the Editor of WARSHIPS International Fleet Review magazine.  For more details on the magazine  http://bit.ly/wifrmag • To learn more about Jack and his work visit The Lifeboat Station Project here https://lifeboatstationproject.com or follow it on Twitter https://twitter.com/ProjectLifeboat

On this day in 1940, the British Expeditionary Force and other Allied troops were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk, to save them from the rapidly approaching German forces who had just launched their lightning invasion of northern Europe. It was one of the most challenging and significant amphibious operations and evacuations in history. The planners of Operation Dynamo first estimated that 45,000 men might be rescued; but between 26 May and 4 June 338,226 men were returned to England by a vast armada of disparate vessels including destroyers, minesweepers, fishing vessels and the famous fleet of 'Little Ships' - all privately owned and requisitioned for the rescue. Today Dr Sam Willis speaks with Dr Philip Weir, author of Dunkirk and the Little Ships. Philip Weir is a historian who specialises in the Royal Navy in the early twentieth century. He has written for the Navy Records Society, History Today and Time and has contributed to television and radio programmes, including the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are.

Dunkirk. June 4, 1940 - Operation Dynamo, later to become known as ‘The Miracle of Dunkirk’: 336 000 French, British and other Allied troops are evacuated from where they are cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk to England by 850 small, private, boats. An operation so critical, after these troops had been trapped by a German pincer movement, that the failure of it may well have resulted in the Allies losing the war against Nazi Germany. In a recent conversation with Professor Jonathan Jansen, I was fortunate enough to spend some  time discussing the parallels between ‘the small ships of Dunkirk’ and independent education in South Africa. In a country where we have upward of 26,000 schools (over 80% of them considered to be non-functional) and approximately 2,500 independent schools catering to 7,2% of the basic education sector, we feel a lot like the small ships of Dunkirk.

These were the 700 private boats that sailed from Ramsgate, England, to Dunkirk, France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940 as part of Operation Dynamo. They helped to rescue more than 338,000 British and French soldiers who were trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk during the Second World War. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode of Battles & Banter, Avery, Codie & Tony discuss one of the most dramatic events of the Second World War: the "Miracle at Dunkirk". Taking place between May 26-June 4, 1940, the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from the European mainland (codenamed Operation Dynamo) was one of the most successful military undertakings in world history. However, it came on grim tidings as France began to fall to Nazi Germany at the same time. By July 1940, Great Britain would stand alone against the Axis Powers. The guys discuss the significance of Dunkirk, while also comparing it to Christopher Nolan's 2017 film of the same name. Also, Tony possibly gets abducted by Harry Styles of One Direction, Codie sings a song that Jonathan Groff would either love or hate, and Avery effectively butchers various European accents with the help of IPAs. Enjoy!

Professor Robin Prior, University of Adelaide Professor of History / Fellow Australian Academy of the Humanities, joins Michael on the 80th Anniversary of the ‘Miracle of Dunkirk’.   The Dunkirk evacuation, code-named Operation Dynamo, was the evacuation of Allied soldiers during World War II from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, in the north of France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940.   The operation commenced after large numbers of Belgian, British, and French troops were cut off and surrounded by German troops during the six-week Battle of France.   In a speech to the House of Commons, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called this "a colossal military disaster", saying "the whole root and core and brain of the British Army" had been stranded at Dunkirk and seemed about to perish or be captured.   In his "we shall fight on the beaches" speech on 4 June, he hailed their rescue as a "miracle of deliverance".

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism. Episode 065 – Dunkirk (1958)   Scott, Steven and Tony have managed to get together once again for a chat about a great British war film - Dunkirk from 1958 directed by Leslie Norman and starring John Mills, Richard Attenborough and Bernard Lee. Better than the Christopher Nolan movie…? Take a listen and see what we think. A British Corporal in France finds himself responsible for the lives of his men when their officer is killed. He has to get them back to Britain somehow. Meanwhile, British civilians are being dragged into the war with Operation Dynamo, the scheme to get the French and British forces back from the Dunkirk beaches. Some come forward to help, others were less willing. “It may be a phoney war to you, but it's not to all the blokes at sea. Never has been.”   You can find this and all of our previous episodes at: Apple Podcasts Libsyn Player FM Podtail Owltail ListenNotes Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod Join us over at our Facebook Group ….we’d love to chat with you email: reelbritannia@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott and Steven  

Dunkirk. It’s a battle that has inspired countless filmmakers, novelists, and historians – a battle that saved a nation, and quite possibly, the modern world as we know it. As a direct result of the actions of the men you will hear about in this episode, Great Britain survived to fight another day. The cornerstone… Continue reading The Battle of Dunkirk: Operation Dynamo /// 38

Cameron Dixon answers the question of ‘how useful is the film Dunkirk (2017) to a historian studying the events of the evacuation of Dunkirk, also know as Operation Dynamo, of World War II.’ Dunkirk (2017) directed, written and produced by Christopher Nolan is a war film depicting the events of the Dunkirk Evacuation. Dunkirk portrays the evacuation through three perspectives: land, sea & air. It has little dialogue and is shot with IMAX. The story of Dunkirk was a changing point in the European theatre of war in World War II. Has Nolan made the depicted events historically accurate? Find out today on History Verified.

I slutningen af maj 1940 måtte en armada af forskellige fartøjer pludselig masseevakuere ca. 338.000 primært britiske soldater ved den nordfranske by Dunkirk efter, at Nazitysklands blitzkrig på få uger havde splittet den allierede hær i to dele. I 2008 udkom ”Dunkirk – kamp til sidste mand” af den britiske forfatter og journalist Hugh Sebag Montefiore. Der er den senest udkomne bog på dansk om denne kæmpemæssige evakueringsopgave, og de slag, der gik forud for denne ”Operation Dynamo”, hvor omkring 900 skibe heraf ca. 700 civile småskibe ganske få dage måtte redde den britiske ekspeditionsstyrke BEF hjem hen over Kanalen. Hvordan kunne Wehrmachts panserstyrker og Luftwaffe så hurtigt nedkæmpe den store franske hær og presse den mindre britiske ekspeditionsstyrke ud af kontinentet? Hvilke ofre måtte bringes for, at briterne kunne slippe ud af tyskernes jerngreb? Og burde de allierede ikke have forudset Hitlers angrebsplaner? Det og meget andet taler vi om med forfatter og oversætter Ole Steen Hansen i denne jubilæumsudgave af Hitlers Æselører. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Hitler’s forces advanced rapidly through Western Europe after the end of the so-called ‘Phoney War’ which began in 1939, they pushed Allied troops ever closer towards the coast. The British Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.), alongside allied troops from France, faced the threat of encirclement and destruction at Dunkirk – a coastal town in northern France, 10 kilometres from the Belgian border. This was very early in World War Two and only weeks after the Wehrmacht had turned its attention to the countries of Western Europe. Consequently, the British government had to act quickly to avoid a debilitating, not to mention humiliating, defeat in 1940. This they did with Operation Dynamo – the plan to evacuate Allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk, and return them to Britain. Almost 340,000 troops were successfully evacuated during the months of May and June 1940, yet there is still much debate about whether this evacuation represented a defeat so early in the war, or a triumph – allowing Britain to ‘fight another day’. In this episode, Elliott (@thelibrarian6) argues that Dunkirk was a military defeat for the British, while Patrick (@historychappy) argues that it was actually a very lucky escape for the British.

Welcome to the House of Crouse. ”Atonement” director Joe Wright’s new film is a spirited—and funnier than you’d imagine—retelling of the machinations behind World War II’s Operation Dynamo. In a tour de force performance, “Darkest Hours” stars Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in a movie that would make a great double bill with Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk.” Wright swings by the CrouseCast to talk about the movie and active resistance against bigotry and totalitarianism. Then "In the Cage" award winning Kevin Hardcastle author offers up why you should always back up your MacBook and more! It's good stuff, so c'mon in and sit a spell.

Ein absolutes Kinoerlebnis ist Dunkirk auf alle Fälle, ansonsten sind René und Alexander aber durchaus geteilter Meinung zum neuen Film von Christopher Nolan. In diesem Nachspann sprechen wir erst über alle Filme von Christopher Nolan, Besonderheiten zur Machart von Dunkirk und über die geschichtlichen Hintergründe von Operation Dynamo: der Evakuierung britischer, französischer und belgischer Truppen aus dem französischen Dünkirchen. Und nach einem ausführlichen Review, wie gesagt mit eher unterschiedlichen Meinungen, analysieren René und Alexander die zeitversetzte Tryptichon Erzählstruktur, die nicht so ganz mit dem klassischen Beat Sheet angegangen werden kann. Ihr seht schon: Wenn der epische Film schon keine epische Länge hat, dann wird unser Nachspann eben episch lang, bietet aber natürlich auch einiges an Stoff. Also wenn ihr wissen wollt wie uns der Film gefällt und was ein Shepard Tone (eine Shepard-Skala) ist, dann hört rein.
