Harry leads his unit on the route to Dunkirk as they fight to make it onto the beach and aboard a ship. Grzegorz and Tom also struggle to survive the chaos of the evacuation.
As thousands flee Nazi-occupied Belgium, Harry, Stan and the rest of their unit take the last route out of France - the road to Dunkirk. When the boys finally make it to a field hospital, they find an overwhelmed Webster O鈥機onnor dealing with an endless number of injured soldiers and civilians. Having stumbled across an ambulance of shell-shocked, traumatised troops (including Senegalese soldiers Demba and Ibrahim), Harry is faced with a dilemma - should he stay with the men or save himself?
In Warsaw, Kasia鈥檚 campaign of violence and murder against German soldiers has become routine; she鈥檚 worlds away from the young, carefree woman she used to be. Her part in the emerging Polish Resistance is firmly established.
In Manchester, Lois and Connie are performing with Ensa at a northern airbase. They meet Flight Lieutenant Vernon Hunter who is immediately drawn to Lois, charmed by her candour and humour. On saying goodbye, he promises to write to her. Is this the start of a new relationship?
