On the Western Front... On the Loire Nates and Saumur are taken. In Brittany Brest falls and in central France, between the Saone and the Loire, the Germans are approaching Lyons. There are more evacuations from the west coast. In the following week 19,000, mostly Poles, are taken off from Bayonne and St. Jean-de-Luz. Since Dunkirk 144,171 British, 18,246 French, 24,352 Poles, 4938 Czechs and a few Belgians have got away.
