Dunkirk, the new war film by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception), tells the story of the famous World War 2 evacuation of Allied troops across the English Channel. But what is the true story of that battle? Erik Voss explains the fascinating history behind the events -- both things in the movie, and things not in the movie -- and separates the fact from the fiction. What key decision by Adolf Hitler allowed the "Miracle of Dunkirk" to happen? Why were civilian boats used to transport the troops? Who were the true unsung heroes of the battle? Is Dunkirk historically accurate? Also, a Dunkirk Review is on its way!
