Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent, documentary; themes: military evacuation, wartime logistics, soldier experience; style notes: black-and-white, medium and close shots, natural lighting, handheld or static camera

Soldiers in helmets and uniforms board and ride in a landing craft on water, with a distant shoreline visible. The transcript states that over 100,000 fighting men were evacuated in ten days.

“In the space of 10 days, more than 100,000 fighting men were evacuated.” 8:46 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
