James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and the historical consultant on Christopher Nolan's 2017 movie 'Dunkirk' Joshua Levine to describe the miraculous evacuation of British and French troops in 1940. In what was actually a crushing military defeat, the highly unusual plan was carried out with an extraordinary level of success and contributed to Britain's decision to fight on in the Second World War. Yet what if it hadn't worked and over 338,000 allied troops had been lost. This is History Undone.
