Video Description

Encircled by the Germans in North-West France, the Battle of Arras, 21st May 1940, was an Allied counter-attack which allowed French and British troops to be evacuated at Dunkirk. But what if Arras had never happened? Would Dunkirk have failed? Would Churchill have resigned? Would Russia have been defeated? Welcome to History Undone with James Hanson, a channel that looks back at pivotal moments and asks 'What if?'. We'll be looking at key battles, strategic decisions and political outcomes with leading historians and current military experts and tacticians to see what might have happened differently, and more importantly, what impact those differences might have had on the world today. This week James Hanson is joined by military historian and researcher at the Tank Museum, Chris Copson, and historian and author Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry. 00:00 - Introduction 01:57 - Hitler on the March 03:58 - The Matador's Cloak 08:06 - Rommel's Ghost Division 14:29 - Operation Frankforce 22:57 - Panic in Berlin 26:48 - What if Dunkirk Failed? 32:06 - Churchill Ousted? 36:20 - Fall of Moscow? 44:14 - Impact of Arras The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, UK.
