German photos of Dunkirk 1940

CROONAERT · 08-09-2007, 08:09 AM

Thought I'd share these images with you. They were given to me many years ago by my Gt.Uncle who souvenired them from a dead German in Normandy. A couple are commercial souvenir photos that were on sale to the troops , but many are the actual photos...

Very Cool pics! here are some from Redcar that i took during the filming of Atonment..it was amazing being on the set!

It was very impressive to see how much detail they put in!

.......The Dunkirk scene is only a small part of the film...but is going to be very impresive.....lasts about ten minutes and is shot in one scene!

I may be unable to resist seeing "Atonement" just for the Dunkirk scene.

I'll wait till it comes out on DVD, then just forward it to the Dunkirk scene. Can't be bothered with the rest of it.

Those are really clear , interesting pictures . Doesn't it look eerie and peaceful .
Have you sent copies to any of the archives or museums ?

I agree, Boris.

They seem to have even included the beached sailing vessel that appears on the 1940 photos!
