Attention attention, action this day. It is the final day of our operation dynamo,

Dunkirk, most important week in human history specials. James Holland, how are you?

Yeah, I'm good. It's been a hell of a week, hasn't it?

It's been really good. I mean, it seems to have been going on longer than a week, but

maybe that's locked down.

Well, it has been going on eight days to be fair.

Oh, yes, but you know what I mean? It feels present in my life in a major way.

So, we're going to do the events of June the 2nd, but I think we also then need to talk about

afterwards, what happens to the French army afterwards, the fighting on the Sarmann outside Paris,

the hedgehogs. We need to talk about Churchill's continued diplomatic efforts long after the BF.

We actually are just absolutely incredible.

We've talked about San Valerie before on the podcast and...

But we should touch on it. We should put the dates in.

We need to talk about it because after all, they're forgotten people, forgotten people.

They were abandoned by Churchill, they were betrayed.

Yeah, they're forgotten, which is why they had a TV programme I made about them, unlike all the other

units that never had a TV programme I made about them.

We also have an email to read. The Colonel got in touch. Ingram got in touch.

He's been listening and he's got words to say.

Yeah, and this email does not begin with loving the podcast.

So he's very lucky that you're reading it out, actually.

And he starts off by calling me Alistair. So I know I'm in trouble.
