So, if it's a choice between North Africa and the home islands, the choice is defend North Africa!!? Because when there's no home islands, there's also no North Africa! Duh!
You had 400,000 men you had an additional how many allies for the French you're telling me prior to evacuating the men you could not have built defenses around Dunkirk and have those 400,000 men hold the city and keep resupplying them to ensure the Germans would see a costly victory. This is why America should never have got involved the Brits don't think Europeans do not think they require the Americans to help them all the time just look at the Great War it was a stalemate until we got involved.
In the UK Bernard Matthews (not the same Matthews in question) is a household name.
Bernard Matthews was a turkey farmer that more or less cornered that market in the UK; the company that carries his name still operates in the UK today.
Thus, I can only picture these things as giant coupes full of Turkey's 😂
Mobile pillboxes designed to be moved around the airfields to defend against the Fallschirmjäger vanguard forces that would drop in before the main invasion force to capture the airfields so they could fly in German troops and equipment.
I sorta like a mobile pill box idea. Enemy recon thinks a pill box is at a spot an come back an its moved, not to mention its fortified against most arms an likely slightly elevated being on a truck chassis.

What’s a pill box? A medical supply car?
I didn't knew this one. Thanks a lot!
Stuck with wafter thin ham after this
Is that not a girl?
Holy shit this was my idea!, a big impenetrable concrete block
Ye Olde Killdozah.
How come the soldiers trapped at Dunkirk didn’t just find something that floats and swim across the channel? England isn’t that far away
UK royalty mismanaging their empire it shows they could of planned ahead shipped steel from India and Burma etc and had the stockpiles before 1939
"Laurie"
They hit the brakes and both pill boxes go flying forward like a Looney Toon😂
Great way to tie up your limited supply of trucks.

We’re told that the most evil people in history, for some reason, just allowed British forces to evacuate at Dunkirk, instead of annihilating them
The Japanese superbattleship Yamato had an afterdeck made of concrete.

We will never surrender…
They made it not to fight but to keeping the citizen out of panic
We fought on the wrong side! Look at the world now, exactly what they were talking about and what they tried to stop. We didn’t know any better.
Sometimes you have to work with what you have at hand!
Marvin Heemeyer approves of this design. And he proved it could work reasonably well, with some modifications.
dunno if you could consider it a technical but it’s definitely one of the vehicles of all time

These things weigh more than a tank.
