Dunkirk was the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of British and French Troops from France to Great Britain in May 1940 after the Germans had defeated the Belgian, French and British Armies.
This was accomplished over a period of nine days under constant bombardment and air attacks from the Germans by ships of the Royal Navy and hundreds of small fishing vessels and pleasure craft.

The Battle of Britain , August/September 1940, was an Air Battle between planes of the R.A.F. and the Luftwaffe as the Germans tried to destroy Britain's air power prior to an intended invasion of Britain.
The intention was to bomb all the airfields and bring the fighters to battle so they could be eliminated.
But the R.A.F. won this contest and the Luftwaffe changed tactics to bomb British Cities.
The invasion never happened.

Germany attacked Russia in May 1941. The start was delayed by six weeks while the Germans sent forces to help the Italians in their invasion of Greece where the Italians were being beaten.
This meant that the main objective of the Germans in 1941 , Moscow, was not reached before the start of winter and this gave the Russians time to recover and reorganise and they eventually went on with the other Allies to beat the Germans in May1945

now no longer relatively actual. The Italian front did weaken the Germans forces, yet after 2 weeks of try against it known that Kursk (fort to the Nazis) grow to be a stalemate at high quality. retreating some panzer forces to Italy was once as a effect of an even bigger want than proceed a try against that ought to no longer;t be won. Kursk was once a tactical try against, now no longer a strategic objective, It grow to be as quickly as to pinch off a Russian salient the endangered the German line. The Nazis have been although stung by potential of their defeat at Stalingrad six months earlier that facilitated the Russian advances around Kursk, Hitler had already determined that the appropriate purpose on the jap front grow to be as quickly as the oil/gas fields in southern Russia/Caucus. German forces on the important front were already thinned out, the Russians knew reliable previously than the conflict the German try against plans, and planned the risk-free practices-in-intensity which will take up and attrite the German panzer forces. The pink military had large reserves in hand to exploit their predicted victory, and injury out of the salient, which it did. playstation Russian historians have placed evidence that the suppossed conflict between 3,000 tanks was once a lie. a great Russian tank tension grow to be destroyed while it unexpectedly met its very own tank defenses, and the Germans shot them up with scarcely any losses themselves. The Soviet commanders mandatory to invent some element to cover their very own a**, least Stalin sack and execute them.
