INCREDIBLE FOOTAGE from the Second World War showing the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk from the Germans point of view has resurfaced today, giving a rare insight into the huge scale of the operation which saw more than 300,000 men rescued from the beaches of northern France. The chilling video, produced by the Nazi propaganda machine for a newsreel distributed to the German public, shows Luftwaffe pilots raining bullets and bombs down on British ships as they attempt to ferry troops back across the English Channel, while further clips show some of those same ships engulfed in flames as they sink beneath the surface of the water. The footage also shows pillars of smoke billowing from the oil refineries in and around the town of Dunkirk following a Luftwaffe assault on the trapped British soldiers, while another clip reveals the charred remains of a British destroyer on the beach, with a huge hole blown through the centre of its hull / mediadrumworld.com
