Trapped in France: A Dunkirk Soldier's Untold Story (WW2 Documentary)

On 26th May 1940 next to a key road on the approaches to Dunkirk, a group of just 14 men, holding a half-built blockhouse, isolated and surrounded, fought for their lives. Over the course of four days, the might of the German Blitzkrieg would unleash relentless assaults on the defenders who knew that every moment they continued to hold, more men at Dunkirk could live to fight another day. This is the extraordinary story of the defence of the Le Peckel Blockhouse.
