It was supposed to be an easy eight-hour trip. "We thought we'd be there by lunchtime." But a bad turn in the weather led to rough seas and the pleasant jaunt became an exhausting and frightening 19-hour ordeal.
Nolan said, "It was an absolute nightmare. We got to Dunkirk and my respect for the people involved in the real events increased more than I could have imagined."

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
