EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunset off Dunkirk: A Fateful Evacuation in World War II This evocative print captures the sun setting over the northern French coast of Dunkirk during the harrowing evacuation of Allied troops in May 1940. The scene is one of chaos and desperation, as Junkers dive-bombers relentlessly attack the shipping lanes, sending plumes of smoke and fire into the sky. Amidst the turmoil, a paddle steamer is seen beached and ablaze, its fate sealed by the relentless bombardment. The artist, an unnamed witness to the events, skillfully rendered this poignant image during the embarkation on May 30, 1940. The scene is one of stark contrasts: the vibrant orange and red hues of the sunset clash with the black smoke and dark clouds of war. The tranquil waters of the English Channel are now a battleground, with the threat of death and destruction lurking around every corner. The evacuation of Dunkirk, also known as Operation Dynamo, was a pivotal moment in World War II. Over the course of nine days, more than 338,000 Allied soldiers were rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk, despite the intense German air and naval bombardment. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and resilience of those involved, as well as the devastating impact of war on civilians and soldiers alike.
