David, the number of 63,500 is from memory. I will check my book when I get home. The book is called "The Sands of Dunkirk" and I am reasonably sure about the figure. Basically Britian had to start again.
Keep in mind that the Germans had been building up their war materials and that the rest of Europe was in turmoil. Hitler had taken control in Germany in 1933. GB was moving in the same direction production wise.
Mike, my mistake. Sorry.
I await Colin's answer to Douglas's question.
