Many will remember the photograph of a burnt-out Military Seven amongst other vehicles and equipment abandoned after the BEF were rescued from the Dunkirk beaches.
Dunkirchen 1940, a new book looking at the campaign from the German perspective, describes in detail the fight and eventual surrender of the British garrison in Calais.
Amongst the British dead covering the Mole, Oberleutnant Konig of the 7th Panzer Regiment describes how some of his men were trying " to get a lovely two-seater Austin into gear ". Such a contrast in images but it is highly probably that this again was a Military Seven.
