3-Day Dunkirk & Fortress Europe

More than 330,000 British and French troops were evacuated from Dunkirk in May 1940, during Operation Dynamo. It followed the Battle of France and was one of the major turning points of World War 2. The occupation lasted for four years and saw the construction of the Atlantic Wall, which was built to prevent Allied return. Embark on a Battlefield tour tailored to specifically to your group with the help of our group travel co-ordinators.

Departure from your local area for the journey to the Channel and your crossing to Calais. Then travel onwards to your hotel in Belgium for a three night stay.

We start the tour with a look at some of the fighting in the Battle of France in May 1940 following the story of the Durham Light Infantry and Royal Welch Fusiliers at St. Venant, seeing the memorial and nearby graves.

At Cassel Hill we examine the last stand here by the Oxs & Bucks and Glosters.

Following lunch we visit the site at Wormhout where a massacre of British troops took place by the SS and then go into Dunkirk to visit the excellent War Museum of Operation Dynamo, followed by a visit to the East Mole.

We end the day in the dunes of Dunkirk to remember the sacrifice of French troops in May-June 1940.
