AMAZING SHIPWRECK OF DUNKIRK 'LITTLE SHIP' THE CRESTED EAGLE
This rusted shipwreck on the beach near Zuydcoote in northern France is one of the most famous of the ‘little ships’ used to evacuate Allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk in May/June 1940.
HMS Crested Eagle started life in June 1925 and was the first River Thames paddle steamer built with oil-fired boilers and from her berth at the Old Swan Pier would transport passengers from London to Ramsgate.
At 300ft long and 34ft wide she was capable of carrying hundreds of passengers, and operated along the route until the outbreak of war where she was used to evacuate children out of London.
On May 29, 1940, she sailed from Sheerness in Kent across the channel to Dunkirk’s east Mole as part of Operation Dynamo - the evacuation of British Expeditionary Force and French troops from Dunkirk - arriving at 2:30pm.
She set sail on her return journey at 6pm with around 600 soldiers aboard (after collecting survivors from two other bombed ships) but less than a mile from shore, near Malo-les-Bains, she was attacked by German Stuka dive bombers who scored direct hits on the aft of the ship.
With the ship deemed to be in a critical state, its captain Lt Commander Bernard Booth decided to beach the ship at Zuydcoote. Around 300 soldiers were lost to the bombing and subsequent fire on board the ship, with the rest making it back to shore. The ship itself was later stripped of its valuable metal resources by the occupying German forces.
Today, at low tides, you can see the remains of the Crested Eagle and she is a lasting reminder of the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of the Allied forces, Royal Navy, and the civilian sailors who were part of the ‘Miracle of Dunkirk’.

From September 1942 to 1944 around 22...

On the defensive since July 1943 and facing a massive bombing campaign on its industries, Germany was counting on new weapons to regain an advantage and win battles. To strike Great Britain and force it to accept a peace deal, enabling German troups to concentrate on the Russian Front, the Reich counted on three Wunderwaffen (miracle weapons) to change the course of the war - V1 flying bomb, V2...

4000 years later : there must been giants!
Бедные уши...
Id be mad ash
Did the allies go through these or around them?
Captured from behind as they moved north from Utah.
Impossível imaginar quantas vidas foram ceifadas por esse canhão enferrujado!
Voy en día con un misil o un dron y adiós.
Poxa vida
When the war criminals invaded Western Europe.
Cantilever,😊 can't a climber, what to do?
Held up better than every house in FL after a hurricane.😊
that’s a lot of concrete… could have build atlantropa dam with the concrete from the atlantikwall and u-boat bases…
So many people have died there wonder if it’s haunted
Good god for the of god!!!
Imagine how much the cannon is worth 💰 ..that's should be in a museum...amazing
I wouldn't want the be in this look out post.. Wow 😮
Looks like something out of Star Wars.
So it's just left there to rot?
Make an awesum house
They don’t build like that anymore
You would probably feel safer behind that thing not inside
Где их отливали? Как перетаскивали?
Big❤
éso podría quebrarse en cualquier momento
Man if guns can speak it would say it was a sad day that day to be used 🥺
They were eventually turned into iron coffins ? Probably tossed grenades inside and would blow open rear doors to make sure all German soldiers were permanently unable to continue resistance .
Заткнуть нижнее отверстие и потом взорвать гранату 😂
Germans are just better people
Would have loved to see how they built this.
The Germans sure love concrete.
Not the wind sounding like a very fitting background sound effect.......
This is just one of many giant structures made by Hitler mo in East Germany, I'm glad I'm not yet born at that time. My Dad was only 7yo when the war ends. 😲🤔😌😊🙏👍
Reminds me of Highlander the series, when Duncan and Methos fought Four Horsemen
The shear horror
Like a butter
Wtf is a kilometer
Немецкие дзоты времен войны до сих пор стоят как ни в чем ни бывало
Incredible
Pena que ainda não aprendemos com os erros do passado
Looks like nuclear test bunker on half life/cs 😊
my dad Was on HMS Rodney perhaps bombing these positions on the day of 6/06/1944
Talk bout getting your Bell rung ? Dam
how did it not explode
Oooooomahaaaa lol
Would it be considered a crime if somebody took the cannon? Because who owning this property ?
Yes, the mayor and local community own it.
I'ma steal that
Where’s the restoration guy? 😂😂
No one cares about Nazi war memorabilia, except them
who cares about Hitler? He was a inhumane monster!!!!
For anyone wondering 5cm is about 500 mm
50mm 👍
😲😲 WOW 💪💪
