In support of the upcoming epic action thriller Dunkirk, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Wargaming.net has partnered with Warner Bros. to remember the seminal World War II event that inspired the motion picture.
The evacuation, known as the “Miracle of Dunkirk,” took place from May 26th until June 4th 1940, when hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers were trapped by advancing German forces on the beaches of Dunkirk, France. As the battle raged on around them, many were transported to safety by the combined efforts of both military and civilian vessels. The history of this massive mobilization and the hopeful, personal stories of those involved will unfold in the film Dunkirk.
Join Wargaming as they “Remember Dunkirk” to commemorate the 77th anniversary of this crucial turning point in WWII, with “Remember Dunkirk” anniversary events and offerings taking place across the entire slate of Wargaming’s combat video games.
Join Wargaming and take to the Air, Land and Sea with World of Warplanes, World of Tanks, and World of Warships as the action intensifies in July, as even more events come to the games. A series of emblems, missions, and more await all who enter the battle!
