Churchill's Ace (Epic War Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The British Expeditionary Force had been evacuated from Dunkirk. Over 300,000 soldiers had been ferried across the Channel in anything that could float. The British Navy put out the word for pleasure craft to take part in the evacuation. The shallow water around Dunkirk meant that the large ships of the Royal Navy couldn’t get close to shore. The private pleasure crafts were needed to ferry the waiting troops on the beach out to the larger transport ships. A combination of French and British soldiers held an ever shrinking perimeter on the outskirts of Dunkirk. The German Army had paused days earlier in front of Dunkirk. Hermann Goering had boasted that the Luftwaffe could finish the job. He was wrong as the RAF put up a heroic struggle for control of the skies over Dunkirk. After the last ship had left and crossed the Channel, the British were alone in their uneven fight with Herr Hitler. Winston Churchill spoke to the frightened nation on the BBC. He said there was no doubt in his mind that the last few weeks had been a colossal military disaster and that the BEF had to leave behind all its heavy armor and equipment.
