Episode 44 - We Shall Never Surrender

This episode of History Date Night covers June 4th through 6th, 1940. Dunkirk officially ends and Churchill delivers a speech that defines how history remembers the entire Dunkirk evacuation. Germany launches the second phase of its invasion, except this time, for the first time in weeks, the French Army actually holds its ground.

This episode also has a British Cabinet minister banning strikes and telling factory workers there's no such thing as a peacetime economy in wartime. And it has one of the stranger stories we've come across in this whole series: American naval aviators towing French warplanes across the Maine-Canada border behind tractors because of those pesky neutrality laws.
