Dover Castle is one of England's oldest and largest fortresses, dominating the town and harbour.
In the Second World War, the castle stood in the front line, directly facing German-occupied France, a mere 22 miles across the narrow straits of Dover.
Beneath the castle, a network of tunnels in the white cliffs housed the command centres which controlled naval operations in the Channel. It was from here in May 1940 that the extraordinary evacuation of 338,000 British and French soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk was masterminded.
Today you can visit the tunnels and see the areas of operation and command. This guidebook provides a fully illustrated souvenir of the key role that Dover played in England's defence.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Beneath Dover's medieval castle and within its famous white cliffs lies a huge network of military tunnels which have been in use since Napoleonic times. It was from these tunnels in May 1940 that the evacuation of British and French troops from Dunkirk was directed. In that operation, over 338,000 men were saved and no fewer than 693 British ships took part. Throughout the Second World War the tunnels were used as command headquarters, controlling naval vessels in the Straits of Dover and the development of coastal artillery. Removed from the Secret List, the story of the Dover Tunnels and the Dunkirk evacuation can now be told. The tunnels have been opened to the public and key areas such as some of the operations rooms can be viewed as they were in the war. This meticulously researched book tells the fascinating story of the key role that Dover played in England's defence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001864875
