The Germans are persistent and want a fight. Unfortunately <span style="color: #115313; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">we lost all our weapons and we are left helpless o the shores of Dunkirk. The German army started to surround our small island. Then the general called me over and the rest of our men to tell us that we had a sneak attack about to occur. It was all a little confusing. Then i looked up and saw our air forces flying over head bombing all our attackers ships. When it was finally all over i realized a miracle has just occurred and we had won the war.
