Dunkirk - Source A is a contemporary painting, which means it, was not painted at the time. Which makes it a secondary piece of evidence, and it is an artist's impression of what happened.

Source C

Source C is a photograph taken at the time of the battle of Dunkirk. This makes the photograph a primary piece of evidence. It shows three soldiers trying to shot down German aircraft on the beaches of Dunkirk. I can also make out a person laying down this person is probaly dead. The British troops didn’t shot any German aircraft down because they only had normal standard military rifles I suppose hand full had machine guns but that wouldn’t have made a difference. They had no protection against aircraft’s, tanks or anything else. In the photograph, you can see a vague image of a British navy ship or Even a German Frigate.

Question two

The battle of Dunkirk was a great Disaster and a great Deliverance according to source D line 2 to 3.  For Example “But our men have gained immeasurably in experience of war-fare and in self-confidence” but then on the other hand it was a disaster as well because in source D line 2 “we have great losses in Equipment”.  It would be sufficient if they would show the actual figures.  Because this would show it was a big disaster. There were also a lot of disasters along with deliverance’s another Deliverance was Source E line 5 to 9  “Ships of all sizes dare the German guns under the guns of the British fleet. Under the wings of the Royal Air Force, A large portion of the B.E.F who for three days had been fighting they’re way back to the Flanders coast, have now been brought safely to England from Dunkirk”. Its sounds like a great deliverance but Source F line 8 “The B.E.F had lost virtually all its guns, tanks, and other heavy equipment. Many of the men had abandoned their rifles. Six Royal Navy destroyers were sunk and nineteen were damaged. The R.A.F had lost 474 aircraft”. This was a crushing blow to Britains resources and heavy weapons. And then again source E line 3 “ Tens of thousands safely home already”. Deliverance but there is always a disaster aswell source E line 10 “First to return were the wounded”. But I have found a lot more deliverance’s than disasters for example source E line 13 “Cost to the enemy of the fleets intervention outside Dunkirk can be counted in the shattering of German advanced forces by navel guns. Survival of thousands of British troops whom Germans had hoped to capture or destroy”. Source f line 6 “on June 3 the last men were moved. In all 338,226 men were brought back to England from Dunkirk of whom 139,997 were French. Another example is source F line 4 “Altogether 860 ships took part. As a further advantage the weather was uniformly benign”. Plus source F line 8 “Almost the entire B.E.F were saved”. So using all the evidence I have found I have been able to work out that the battle of Dunkirk was had more deliverance’s than disasters.
