Dunkirk 1940: Operation Dynamo HOT!

Admiral Bertram Ramsay directed the evacuation. Ramsay had retired before the war but was recalled in 1939. He and his staff worked in a room deep in the Dover cliffs that had once contained a dynamo, a type of electrical generator, giving the operation its name.

Dunkirk 1940: Operation Dynamo

Operation Dynamo fik sit navn fra dynamo rummet i flådehovedkvarteret under fæstningen i Diver, som under 1. verdenskrig rummede den dynamo der leverede strøm til bygningen. Det var i dette rum at den britiske viceadmiral Bertram Ramsay planlagde operationen og briefede Winston Churchill mens den var i gang.[5] 041b061a72
