Make Downtrend your Home Page and get your head straight!

Regardless.......   There were NO Women or Negroes at the Dunkirk Evacuation.  So, WHY would there be any in the Movie? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

In 2017, is it possible to make a Movie with NO Negroes or Homos?  (Maybe not)

Maybe every movie has to have 12 percent Negroes and 1.5 percent Gays.

Why make historical movies that don't reflect the real population?

The British AND French Armies were integrated

- there were very likely French African troops at Dunkirk.

It would not have been inaccurate to include a few black troops.

It IS inaccurate to not have even one.

On the eve of World War II five regiments of Senegalese Tirailleurs
were stationed in France and a Senegalese brigade in Algeria.

The 2e division colonial senegalese was deployed permanently in the south of France,
partially because the climate was judged suitable for the African soldiers
and partially because of the potential threat from Fascist Italy.[10]

This deployment of tirailleurs outside their regions of recruitment and traditional peacetime service
arose because the heavy casualties of World War I had reduced the numbers of metropolitan Frenchmen
in the military service age group of twenty to twenty-five by more than half.

In the film, we see at least one French soldier who might be African. In fact, soldiers from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and elsewhere were key to delaying the German attack. Other African soldiers made it to England and helped form the nucleus of the Free French forces that soon took the fight to the Axis.

There were also four companies of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps on those beaches. Observers said they were particularly cool under fire and well organized during the retreat. They weren’t large in number, maybe a few hundred among hundreds of thousands, but their appearance in the film would have provided a good reminder of how utterly central the role of the Indian Army was in the war. Their service meant the difference between victory and defeat. In fact, while Britain and other allies were licking their wounds after Dunkirk, the Indian Army picked up the slack in North Africa and the Middle East.

The historical records should show whether or not there were any soldiers of other races present during the Dunkirk evacuation.

Maybe the folks who made the movie consulted the records and maybe they didn't.  We have no way of knowing.

But seriously folks, do we really need to argue over a MOVIE?  We all know that most times, movies are NOT historically accurate in one way or another.

Threat of war with Germany during the late 1930s mobilized the Tirailleurs Sénégalais.
The Conscription Law of 1919 effectively established black African soldiers
among the French military ranks, although they were still led mainly by white officers.
By 1939, service in the army became “a universal male obligation”
for young black Africans and some even found themselves integrated into the regular French army.

France sent a large portion of their colonial African soldiers to help defend the Maginot Line
in May and June of 1940. A superior, overwhelming German army, spearheaded by Panzers,
swiftly overran the unprepared French troops.

Many Tirailleurs Sénégalais were killed or taken prisoner and suffered greatly as POWs
in northern France under the German racial ideologies.

Those black Africans lucky enough to escape the German onslaught
saw service with the Free French forces in Africa, Italy, and later again in France
during the liberation in 1944.

In total, some 200,000 black Africans served France during WWII.

Let's assume for the purposes of making this movie that not one was present at Dunkirk - as unlikely as that was.
