Historical Background
The village of Spycker is situated in a land corridor between the canal of Mordyck and the canal of Haute-Colme. This
corridor was a direct entry in the defensive perimeter of Dunkirk. In late May 1940, Spycker was held by the 1st 9 x8
Battalion of 225th Infantry Regiment (68th French Infantry Division). Under the command of Major Noailles, the
battalion was entrenched on the outskirts of the village and in the farm Lelieur at the crossroads of Broukerque and
Grande Synthe. Arriving from Broukerque and Afgand castle, the Germans attacked on May 30 and were pushed back 10 x1
with heavy losses. During three days, the French infantrymen of the 225th resisted to continuous bombings of the
Luftwaffe, artillery shelling and several attacks from infantry and tanks. On June 2, after a heavy artillery shelling, the
Germans finally captured Spycker. In the night of 3-4, the remaining French infantrymen withdrew to Dunkirk in order
to embark. But it was too late: all the boats had left. They were the sacrificed troops of Dunkirk.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
