The first part of World War II saw British expeditionary troops attempting to stop the invading German forces in France. The attempt failed, and the British forces were forced back to the sea at Dunkirk, from where they had to be evacuated by anything that floated, all the while under heavy assault from the Germans. The defeat was an humiliating and costly debacle for the British, and a huge Propaganda victory for the Nazi invaders. After Dunkirk, it did appear for a while that there would be no stopping the spread of the nazi horror.
