Original Toronto Star caption: Man for man the British soldiers are far superior to the Nazis. If they weren't, far fever Allied troops would have escaped from Dunkirk. Col. F. C. Wallace, who was at Dunkirk and formed this opinion from personal observation, also believes the Nazi army is inferior to the German forces of the last war.
