well yeah but all ww2 movies that has the junkers ju 87 has that wistle while diving so yeah they had to put that sound in otherwise it would be unrealistic
@The Furious Fallen nah that isn't a fear scream that's a pain scream. A leg or arm was probably being crushed or several on those wooden support pillars.
As a history geek and aerospace engineering student I'd always thought of the Stuka as 'already approaching obsolescence by the beginning of WW2'. But then these clips remind me there's pretty much nothing a person without machine guns/cannons can do against them other than pray that the bombs miss you.
The germans concluded after poland that their psychological effect was more devastating than their physical effect. Keep in mind tho. Psychological damage is more damaging than physical. After all. Morale break is contagious whereas death by bombs is not. Then of course. Youd also keep using them since the its better to use if. Even if obsolete. Than not use anything at all.
@Big Smoke When the choice is between using 100 modern Dive bombers, OR 100 modern dive bombers AND 100 slightly obsolete ones.. Picking the first option makes you rather stupid. ESPECIALLY when you're Germany and already outnumbered.
@@TheIfifi It isn't just a question of planes though. You need to have fuel, bombs, ammunition and competent pilots to fill them. Might be smarter to use them sparingly.
What made the Stukas obsolete was the inability of the German Luftwaffe to provide them with enough fighter escorts. They were helpless aginst enemy fighters when surprised and unprotected.
Ethan Mitchell DUNKIRK still made $188M here in the States. Considering we weren’t in the War then and there are no Americans in this film that’s a very respectable amount. The year 2017 was considered by media sources as a weak box office year.
You kinda miss the point here. Don't you? Joking about a horrible event during WWII? I guess you don't take it seriously. I guess you don't have the mental (or moral) development to understand the sacrifices made. There is no emotional connection here for you. Sad. You have little respect for those involved. What if one of your family was involved during this time in history? What if you had lost someone during this war? What if a distant ancestor was killed? I guess it is folly to even ask you these questions since you are emotionally bankrupt. Sad and aggravating at the same time. Am I being judgemental? You bet. |"F2" "hit. You sank my... medical ship?"| Are you serious? Do you even comprehend the meaning of the sinking of any ship, let alone a medical ship? Idiot. It is distressing that there are over 300 "likes" on your comment. It shows the moral character (or lack thereof) of more than 300 people...
0:34 The thing I remember the most about this movie was how loud the planes were in the movie theater. I almost had to cover my ears. 10/10 sound design.
My Grandpa (who served in WW2) stated you'd never just stand there with a bunch of rifles in your hands and do nothing. When planes started flying overhead, every single person would raise their rifle and unload everything they had. This seems to be something nearly all war movies get wrong.
Why? Surely the bullets wouldn't have enough range upwards. Plus Planes can take multiple bullet holes as long as the propeller and engine don't get hit. Really only the dive bombers would be at danger from it.
@@AbdirahmanIdris-ku9xm Just Googled the ballistics of a 30-06. It has a vertical range of 3400 yards (3100 meters) or 2 miles (3.2 kilometers). That makes it a decent threat to the low altitude bombers that the Germans used.
Both my father and my wife's survived the Dunkirk evacuation . One refused to talk about it and the other had nightmares well after the war finished five years later .
My grandfather waited on the beach, bombarded by Stukas but it was the last few moments in waist high water that truly terrified him, he made it but would never forget those last moments whilst waiting to board a boat
Terran Well the lancer had its faults too like for instance having very weak armor so any turbo laser barrage could cripple it. Therefore it should be accompanied by a larger support ship.

0:20 the scene where some soldiers turns to look at the stukas, the soldier below right the one with no helmet was actually smiling, but in the final release his face was CGI to appear frightened. I prefered if he was smiling.
One inaccuracy that I just realized. The JU87 Stuka did straight vertical dives when attacking. And I mean straight VERTICAL. It had this ingenious design that allowed the plane to pull up by itself because the G forces on the pilots knocked them out cold. They also did this to maximize bomb accuracy, considering they were close air support and not tactical or strategic bombers. They were usually armed with a single bomb and if they missed, it was a waste of precious bombs. I get that they did it for that cinematic feel, but I would have creamed my pants if they showed off an actual 100% realistic Stuka divebomb attack.
Are you really saying a disrespectful fictional film that is named after an actual event but fails to show anything that actually happened a good film? The problem with films like this is future generations will think this is accurate and this was what happened at Dunkirk, that's really sad. Why call a film Dunkirk then make a fictional film? Why invent a story when there's a perfectly good real story, involving 800,000 Germans, 150 bombers bombing the beach every 20 minutes.. full scale battle at sea, 26,000 men taken off the beach every day, over 120,000 of the men being French. No one was pretending to be British. The French navy fighting U-boats, E-boats and German aircraft, 89 transport ships lost, 6 British destroyers lost and 3 French. Over 2,200 RAF sorties flown losing over 100 aircraft and 87 pilots, more than 240 German aircraft shot down, 150 of them over the beach. 18,000 French soilders died in 9 days defending Dunkirk. Dunkirk was completely on fire with only the town hall still standing, thousands of civilians were killed. 60,000 vehicles were left on the beach including tanks and motorbikes, field artillery, and over 60,000 dead soldiers. I could go on...... But you get the idea, this film is a disgrace.
Hitler could have almost ended the war with England at Dunkirk. Should have never let Goering convince him that the Luftwaffe could handle it. They needed armor on the beaches.
@Phil Man Exactly. Hitler would have gladly accepted a separate peace from England. He probably would have for reparations, but not occupation. He wanted England out of the war so he could concentrate on Russia.
@@peterdemkiw3280 "Hahaha, hahaha look at me, this movie is terrible! Noone should enjoy it!" "I like it-" "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!1!!!!111!!1 IT'S TERRIBLE AS FUUK!!!!1!!" That's how you sound.
@@ewelinanajgebauer8862 Just pointing out as a film about actual events involving real people it fails absolutely. I don't understand why they called a film Dunkirk then not bother to follow the events. I have no opinion on whether you should enjoy it, it's not a horrible thing to watch, as long as you're not bothered about what really happened.
No Red Cross ship was sunk like this at Dunkirk. One medical ship, HMS Paris was sunk before arriving but only lost two lives and took a very long time to sink.
The Red Cross is the universal symbol for medicine. There’s an organization (The Red Cross) based off that symbol because it provides medicine and relief to those in need. Its not a Red Cross ship its a hospital ship.
@@deltacomet5203 The ship depicted here is entirely fictional, so whether it’s an official Red Cross ship, or a medical ship with a Red Cross is actually irrelevant to my point. I just feel like the actual events of Dunkirk are dramatic enough without having those “rotten kruats” sink fictional hospital ships. I just expect more out of Chris Nolan. It reminds me of that terrible movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson, where the British cavalry burns a church full of innocent townsfolk, even though nothing like that ever happened during the revolution and was just hacky, villainous mustache twirling by the movies villain.
@@Golfballtauchen thing is, while looking this(genuinely to find out for about the hospital ships staff fate, thinking it was real history) I read a listing of hospital ships sunk in WW2 and we, the allies, had the higher score on that count. Again, not an apologist or anything, just interested in the history of nurses in combat situations in WW2.
Dock's a quarter mile long, only one ship at that dock " We can't let her sink at the dock!!" I can understand cutting it loos tho, it would pull the dock apart, same if it sank and tipped into the dock.
Adolf Hitler Depends. They usually had a 500kg on the belly and a couple of 250kgs on the wings but it could carry a single 1000kg or 1800kg anti-shipping specialised bomb.
@@Rick-ve5lx For the year Dunkirk is in the Stukas are really only able to carry 2, 250 kg bombs or 1, 500 kg. These are first generation Ju 87s after all
@@Insperato62 I’m usually really vigilant on movies, but I was so focused on the bombers and the men in the water and what not o never stopped to think of all the wounded we don’t see on the lower decks of the ship.
The screen is this film where the ship was hit and begun to sink, bring to rememberance the story my grandfather told me only the bomb that sunk this ship went down the funnel. He was there the story he told was real, Thankyou for including this scene in the film
Uhm, was he onboard HMHS Paris? That ship was the only hospital ship sunk and only hospital ship present at Dunkirk, and it didn't even arrive at the pier before it sank!
They really do make a great pairing as non traditional War films.

There's like 23 years in between the wars, but both were made very well that they look like one of them tells the battle on the land while the other one on the water of the same war
@@movision8078 The British killed more German civilians than the Germans have killed the British civilians with bombing. The Chinese flooded their own capital to halt Japanese expansion.
@@isatorisenpai1821 they did not, several examples of war crimes committed on western fronts (Oradour-sur-Glane and there are at least a few examples of SS and wehrmacht divisions massacring British and french soldiers surrending during the battle of Dunkirk alone). Also, they did not uphold soviet POWs or civilians under the Geneva convention, and enacted commissar acts where both could be summarily murdered if deemed a political agent or having ties to one Also literally the holocaust.
No medical ship was sunk at Dunkirk, not really sure why Nolan had to add that extra bit of “lousy heartless Germans!” when it’s really well documented as to what ships went down in the evacuation. And oddly enough, the allies sunk more medical ships during the war than the axis did. And I’m firmly pro-Allie. But facts is facts.
Altaf Kalam : Very true. If it were it would have also shown the crucial role bad weather had (luck I suppose?) and the British RAF had in protecting the Dunkirk beach area and the rescue ships from the air.
@@belgianfabian2216 The Stuka didn't carry 250-pound bombs. They carried 250 kg SC250s (equivalent to around 550 lbs) with an actual explosive mass of 290 lbs.
My great grandfather was a WW2 veteran in the royal navy and his job was to protect american merchent ships going to Britain and all they had was this small highly flamable wooden torpedo boat with a machine gun at the front and they were always getting dive bombed by stukas so now I know how he must have felt.
Crazy how history would have been if Hitler sent in full force instead of just the Air Force. Most of the British expeditionary force that left, were part of the invading forces years later at Normandy. Including being part of North Africa camping
British would've have surrender because 300.000 experienced war veteran is way too much to lose. If they didn't surrender they would've used kids instead in the army.
@@peterdemkiw3280 yeah I started reading about dunkirk. Turns out it took 9 days to bring all the boys back and not what seems like an afternoon in this movie. This event has been dubbed Hitler's mercy and rightly so but the ***ish historians are trying to fabricate it as they always do. They will try to lie about what happened and say that Hitler was being stupid. No I call this mercy.
@@MadKingOfMadaya yes 9 days, 18,000 French soilders were killed defending Dunkirk, in 9 days, what a shame they didn't include that in the film. 26,000 a day taken off the beach, mostly at night when they were not being bombed every 20 minutes. 60,000 vehicles were left on the beach including tanks.

They also did this to maximize bomb accuracy, considering they were close air support and not tactical or strategic bombers. They were usually armed with a single bomb and if they missed, it was a waste of precious bombs. I get that they did it for that cinematic feel, but I would have creamed my pants if they showed off an actual 100% realistic Stuka divebomb attack.
I’ve watched this movie like ten times
The sounds of the stukas well done
Damn, that’s one hell of a kill streak for the bombers.
Won’t get that nuke killstreak till 1945 tho
I was on the brink of a panic attack for 80% of the movie.
This is one of the most beautifully made war films ever created. I love this movie.
Are you really saying a disrespectful fictional film that is named after an actual event but fails to show anything that actually happened a good film?
The problem with films like this is future generations will think this is accurate and this was what happened at Dunkirk, that's really sad.
Why call a film Dunkirk then make a fictional film?
Why invent a story when there's a perfectly good real story, involving 800,000 Germans, 150 bombers bombing the beach every 20 minutes.. full scale battle at sea, 26,000 men taken off the beach every day, over 120,000 of the men being French. No one was pretending to be British. The French navy fighting U-boats, E-boats and German aircraft, 89 transport ships lost, 6 British destroyers lost and 3 French.
Over 2,200 RAF sorties flown losing over 100 aircraft and 87 pilots, more than 240 German aircraft shot down, 150 of them over the beach.
18,000 French soilders died in 9 days defending Dunkirk.
Dunkirk was completely on fire with only the town hall still standing, thousands of civilians were killed.
60,000 vehicles were left on the beach including tanks and motorbikes, field artillery, and over 60,000 dead soldiers.
I could go on...... But you get the idea, this film is a disgrace.
You must be fun at parties
@@peterdemkiw3280 Is it better to feature fictional people in a film about a war, then to use real people in stories that didn't happen to them?
Hitler could have almost ended the war with England at Dunkirk. Should have never let Goering convince him that the Luftwaffe could handle it. They needed armor on the beaches.
Yeah I think about that every time I think of Dunkirk
Churchill wouldn't have surrendered
@@pitbullbob9569 how do you know? He could have sued for a separate peace.
@Phil Man Exactly. Hitler would have gladly accepted a separate peace from England. He probably would have for reparations, but not occupation. He wanted England out of the war so he could concentrate on Russia.
Imagine the decisive victory it could have been...
this scene is so amazing
Fictional nonsense like most of this terrible film but yes, amazing, amazing it was allowed to be made.
@@peterdemkiw3280 "Hahaha, hahaha look at me, this movie is terrible! Noone should enjoy it!"
"I like it-"
"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!1!!!!111!!1 IT'S TERRIBLE AS FUUK!!!!1!!"
That's how you sound.
@@ewelinanajgebauer8862 Just pointing out as a film about actual events involving real people it fails absolutely.
I don't understand why they called a film Dunkirk then not bother to follow the events.
I have no opinion on whether you should enjoy it, it's not a horrible thing to watch, as long as you're not bothered about what really happened.
No Red Cross ship was sunk like this at Dunkirk. One medical ship, HMS Paris was sunk before arriving but only lost two lives and took a very long time to sink.
The Red Cross is the universal symbol for medicine. There’s an organization (The Red Cross) based off that symbol because it provides medicine and relief to those in need. Its not a Red Cross ship its a hospital ship.
@@deltacomet5203 The ship depicted here is entirely fictional, so whether it’s an official Red Cross ship, or a medical ship with a Red Cross is actually irrelevant to my point. I just feel like the actual events of Dunkirk are dramatic enough without having those “rotten kruats” sink fictional hospital ships. I just expect more out of Chris Nolan. It reminds me of that terrible movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson, where the British cavalry burns a church full of innocent townsfolk, even though nothing like that ever happened during the revolution and was just hacky, villainous mustache twirling by the movies villain.
The HMS Paris are bombed by German aircrafts, it is right to use a scene like this.
@@johansmallberries9874 the complete film is fictional nonsense, it should never have been allowed to be called Dunkirk.
@@Golfballtauchen thing is, while looking this(genuinely to find out for about the hospital ships staff fate, thinking it was real history) I read a listing of hospital ships sunk in WW2 and we, the allies, had the higher score on that count. Again, not an apologist or anything, just interested in the history of nurses in combat situations in WW2.
Dock's a quarter mile long, only one ship at that dock " We can't let her sink at the dock!!"
I can understand cutting it loos tho, it would pull the dock apart, same if it sank and tipped into the dock.
I'm glad they fixed the smiling guy
Master of Fear
This is how it feels to be sitting duck. 🦆
Shouldn't those bombs be a lot more powerful, though?
They were, for the most part, near misses.
Stuka bomb aren't really powerfull
Adolf Hitler Depends. They usually had a 500kg on the belly and a couple of 250kgs on the wings but it could carry a single 1000kg or 1800kg anti-shipping specialised bomb.
@@Rick-ve5lx For the year Dunkirk is in the Stukas are really only able to carry 2, 250 kg bombs or 1, 500 kg. These are first generation Ju 87s after all
@@idontfeelokayman2786 they were tank killers, ig they would do more damage than blow out some portion of wood.
One of my favorite war movies
it goes from one person looking up and a few seconds later everyone on the bridge looks
The Ju87 is scary man
Oh shit...I've watched this movie 3 times and just realized the amount of wounded left on that ship. Jesus..
It took you 3 viewings not 3 seconds?
a true horror
@@Insperato62 I’m usually really vigilant on movies, but I was so focused on the bombers and the men in the water and what not o never stopped to think of all the wounded we don’t see on the lower decks of the ship.
Can we talk about how much sound detail the creators put 8n the stukas
Love that stuka sound🥶🥶
2:18 when someone on the ship has corona virus.
dunno you seem kinda sus
That's the feeling. Bengal famine.
Dude almost got hurt by ship
It never changes
You can watch this on Netflix!
Dondan9 9999 actually
Max Henry yup
0:20 very impressive
i call them the "screaming reapers" because when they bomb then as soon when they go upwards they make that high wind sound.
The screen is this film where the ship was hit and begun to sink, bring to rememberance the story my grandfather told me only the bomb that sunk this ship went down the funnel. He was there the story he told was real, Thankyou for including this scene in the film
Uhm, was he onboard HMHS Paris? That ship was the only hospital ship sunk and only hospital ship present at Dunkirk, and it didn't even arrive at the pier before it sank!
1917 and Dunkirk feels like it should be together,
They shouldn’t. They are set in 2 separate wars
They really do make a great pairing as non traditional War films.
There's like 23 years in between the wars, but both were made very well that they look like one of them tells the battle on the land while the other one on the water of the same war
A Canadian film student has done a Dunkirk/Darkest hour mashup on CZcams...It's incredible..🤔
sinking a hospital ship is against wartime law and the geneva convention also a crime against humanity
They were Germans bro
@@movision8078 The British killed more German civilians than the Germans have killed the British civilians with bombing. The Chinese flooded their own capital to halt Japanese expansion.
Mo Jo Germans followed the geneva convention as well
@@isatorisenpai1821 they did not, several examples of war crimes committed on western fronts (Oradour-sur-Glane and there are at least a few examples of SS and wehrmacht divisions massacring British and french soldiers surrending during the battle of Dunkirk alone). Also, they did not uphold soviet POWs or civilians under the Geneva convention, and enacted commissar acts where both could be summarily murdered if deemed a political agent or having ties to one
Also literally the holocaust.
Actually the said hospital ship was providing transport to armed troops , so it became a eligible target
Basically the WW2 of Britannic, a ship that gets bombed and sinks very quickly.
By the way The Captain of Lightollers yacht was his son
Don't know if I'm right, but back then wasn't a war crime to attack anything medical.
No medical ship was sunk at Dunkirk, not really sure why Nolan had to add that extra bit of “lousy heartless Germans!” when it’s really well documented as to what ships went down in the evacuation.
And oddly enough, the allies sunk more medical ships during the war than the axis did. And I’m firmly pro-Allie. But facts is facts.
Altaf Kalam : Very true. If it were it would have also shown the crucial role bad weather had (luck I suppose?) and the British RAF had in protecting the Dunkirk beach area and the rescue ships from the air.
@@johansmallberries9874 Uh, HMHS Paris sank! I mean, it was a bit far from Dunkirk yes, but still!
Love how a 250lb bomb has the effect of a hand grenade.
I think that was supposed to be a hand grenade, like someone dropped it.
250lb isn't that much.
@@belgianfabian2216 The Stuka didn't carry 250-pound bombs. They carried 250 kg SC250s (equivalent to around 550 lbs) with an actual explosive mass of 290 lbs.
One of these days I’m gonna watch this movie while vibing to the bazelgeuse theme
My great grandfather was a WW2 veteran in the royal navy and his job was to protect american merchent ships going to Britain and all they had was this small highly flamable wooden torpedo boat with a machine gun at the front and they were always getting dive bombed by stukas so now I know how he must have felt.
Crazy how history would have been if Hitler sent in full force instead of just the Air Force. Most of the British expeditionary force that left, were part of the invading forces years later at Normandy. Including being part of North Africa camping
British would've have surrender because 300.000 experienced war veteran is way too much to lose. If they didn't surrender they would've used kids instead in the army.
Luftwaffe rocks!
*_People are stuck inside that boat sinking to their deaths while their own soldiers are just watching, unable to do anything..._*
It didn't happen, like most of this garbage it's fictional, so don't worry about it.
@@peterdemkiw3280 yeah I started reading about dunkirk. Turns out it took 9 days to bring all the boys back and not what seems like an afternoon in this movie. This event has been dubbed Hitler's mercy and rightly so but the ***ish historians are trying to fabricate it as they always do. They will try to lie about what happened and say that Hitler was being stupid. No I call this mercy.
@@MadKingOfMadaya yes 9 days, 18,000 French soilders were killed defending Dunkirk, in 9 days, what a shame they didn't include that in the film.
26,000 a day taken off the beach, mostly at night when they were not being bombed every 20 minutes.
60,000 vehicles were left on the beach including tanks.
Shepherd tones. They build and build and keep building.
Edit: btw, what's Lockhart doing here?
OMG HARRY STYLES!!!
🤦♂️
0:23 how tf they all look up at the same time
They all heard the Stukas approaching.
Yea , im here for harold too
Nice Tie Fighter attack
I'm sorry I dropped my smoke bombs from my plane.
