The evacuation beaches:
While you fly over the famous beaches of the seaside resort of Dunkirk Malo-Les-Bains, you can imagine what the pilots saw and experienced during the air operations.
The Zuydcoote military hospital:
The sanatorium of Zuydcoote was transformed into a military hospital in 1940. Tens of thousands of soldiers were treated here though many did not survive.
