• Millions of Allied soldiers and resistance fighters suffered torture, were maimed, or died in order to save Europe from the Nazis. 
• A couple of generations later Europeans have willingly surrendered their nation states to another supremacist and intolerant ideology, as millions of Middle Eastern and African migrants take over the continent and irrevocably destroy its culture.
• Streets are now the scene of recurrent acts of terror.  Citizens are killed with bombs, knives, ramming vehicles, and are randomly attacked with disfiguring sulphuric acid, while thousands of women and children are gang raped.   The European heroes of yesterday are gone.  Today's feminized European men watch all these horrors and look away.
• Public passivity, political correctness, and outright treason by intellectual and political elites have combined in one mass act of European cultural and demographic suicide.   What would Winston Churchill say?
• In 2014 British politician Paul Weston was actually ARRESTED for quoting Winston Churchill.  
• Mr Weston was arrested for publicly quoting an excerpt critical of Islam from Churchill's book The River War.
• After spending several hours in a cell at Winchester Police Station, Paul Weston was charged with Racially Aggravated Crime, under Section 4 of the Public Order Act, which carries a potential prison sentence of two years. After public outrage he was later released.  Read More

Royston Leonard, the man who restored the original black and white photographs into colour versions, said: 'I see a beaten army but not a defeated one. We went to war still stuck with ideas from World War One. We weren't ready for a modern fast-moving war like World War Two. At that time, we were not ready for modern war. But this just shows how by working together even defeat can become a victory.'

The evacuation of British soldiers from Dunkirk was one of the largest military operations of the war, with approximately 338,000 men rescued from the beaches during Operation Dynamo. 

 

The operation came after hundreds of thousands of British, French, Belgian and other Allied forces were trapped by the German army on the beaches of Dunkirk following a failed attempt to set up a base on mainland Europe. 

 

The failed attempt saw the Allied armies abandon huge amounts of equipment when they left the beach, including 2,472 guns, 63,879 vehicles, 20,548 motorcycles, 76,097 tons of ammunition and 416,940 tons of stores.

 

Most were recycled by the German army, who captured 40,000 French troops when Dunkirk eventually fell. And the historic events have recently been turned into a blockbuster film, which opens in cinemas across the UK today.

Evacuation of Dunkirk: How 338,000 Allied troops were saved in 'miracle of deliverance'

The evacuation from Dunkirk was one of the biggest operations of the Second World War and was one of the major factors in enabling the Allies to continue fighting.

 

It was the largest military evacuation in history, taking place between May 27 and June 4, 1940.  The evacuation, known as Operation Dynamo, saw an estimated 338,000 Allied troops rescued from northern France. But 11,000 Britons were killed during the operation - and another 40,000 were captured and imprisoned.

 

Described as a 'miracle of deliverance' by wartime prime minister Winston Churchill, it is seen as one of several events in 1940 that determined the eventual outcome of the war.  

The Second World War began after Germany invaded Poland in 1939, but for a number of months there was little further action on land. But in early 1940, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway and then launched an offensive against Belgium and France in western Europe.

 

Hitler's troops advanced rapidly, taking Paris - which they never achieved in the First World War - and moved towards the Channel.

 

They reached the coast towards the end of May 1940, pinning back the Allied forces, including several hundred thousand troops of the British Expeditionary Force. Military leaders quickly realised there was no way they would be able to stay on mainland Europe.

Operational command fell to Bertram Ramsay, a retired vice-admiral who was recalled to service in 1939. From a room deep in the cliffs at Dover, Ramsay and his staff pieced together Operation Dynamo, a daring rescue mission by the Royal Navy to get troops off the beaches around Dunkirk and back to Britain. 

 

On May 14, 1940 the call went out. The BBC made the announcement: 'The Admiralty have made an order requesting all owners of self-propelled pleasure craft between 30ft and 100ft in length to send all particulars to the Admiralty within 14 days from today if they have not already been offered or requisitioned.'

 

Boats of all sorts were requisitioned - from those for hire on the Thames to pleasure yachts - and manned by naval personnel, though in some cases boats were taken over to Dunkirk by the owners themselves. 

 

They sailed from Dover, the closest point, to allow them the shortest crossing. On May 29, Operation Dynamo was put into action. 

When they got to Dunkirk they faced chaos. Soldiers were hiding in sand dunes from aerial attack, much of the town of Dunkirk had been reduced to ruins by the bombardment and the German forces were closing in.

 

Above them, RAF Spitfire and Hurricane fighters were headed inland to attack the German fighter planes to head them off and protect the men on the beaches.

 

As the little ships arrived they were directed to different sectors. Many did not have radios, so the only methods of communication were by shouting to those on the beaches or by semaphore. 

 

Space was so tight, with decks crammed full, that soldiers could only carry their rifles. A huge amount of equipment, including aircraft, tanks and heavy guns, had to be left behind.

 

The little ships were meant to bring soldiers to the larger ships, but some ended up ferrying people all the way back to England. The evacuation lasted for several days.

Prime Minister Churchill and his advisers had expected that it would be possible to rescue only 20,000 to 30,00 men, but by June 4 more than 300,000 had been saved.

 

The exact number was impossible to gauge - though 338,000 is an accepted estimate - but it is thought that over the week up to 400,000 British, French and Belgian troops were rescued - men who would return to fight in Europe and eventually help win the war.

 

But there were also heavy losses, with around 90,000 dead, wounded or taken prisoner. A number of ships were also lost, through enemy action, running aground and breaking down. Despite this, Dunkirk was regarded as a success and a great boost for morale.

 

In a famous speech to the House of Commons, Churchill praised the 'miracle of Dunkirk' and resolved that Britain would fight on: 'We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!'

A key factor in the acceleration of the non-European takeover of Europe is the negative population growth in the indigenous population.  Put in simple terms, Europeans stopped having enough babies to replace their population. 

 

Furthermore, when you compare official population figures of Europeans and non-white migrants, you must take into account that most of that European population is old and beyond reproductive age. 

 

Migrants from the Middle East and Africa, however, are young, and are having large families  (sometimes through polygamy).  In only a short period of time young non-whites will overtake young whites, while the total white indigenous population will continue to shrink. 

CHILDLESS EUROPEAN POLITICAL LEADERSHIP

Breitbart:   With the election of Emmanuel Macron to the presidency of France over the weekend, the leaders of Europe’s top four economies — Britain, France, Italy and Germany — have zero children between them, a feat perhaps never before matched in European history.   The list of European nations led by childless politicians continues beyond the first rank of economic powerhouses, with Sweden’s Stefan Löfven and the Netherland’s Mark Rutte also part of the childless club.  Read More

The following video makes the non-European demographic takeover of Europe very clear. 

 

It explains how the age bracket of those arriving in Europe is crucial to understanding their future growth.  Incidentally, this 2016 video is already outdated in the sense that Angela Merkel does no longer even try to pretend that there will be limits to refugee immigration.  She recently affirmed that all those claiming refugee status are welcome, and that EU countries are obligated to take their share of them.

POPULATION CRISIS: FACTS AND FIGURES  

• Between 2001 and 2014, 3.3 m migrants came to the UK
• Our population rose by 491,000 from 2013 to 2014 — one of the fastest rates of any industrial country
• Official projections suggest the UK population (now 65m) will exceed 70m in 11 years, hit 77m by 2050 and pass 80m by 2060
• Births in the UK rose from 668,777 in 2002 to 778,805 in 2013. Of these, births to immigrant mothers almost doubled from 110,484 to 196,806
• Women born abroad contributed 27% of all live births in England and Wales in 2014, and 33% of babies had at least one immigrant parent
