As far as people jumping off the boats, some looked like Titanic.




After watching the movie I went to IMDB for fun facts on the movie.

Mark Rylance's character was based on Charles Lightroller, the second officer on the Titanic. He had a boat at Dunkirk and lost a son earlier in the war.

read the thread because Iwas interested,don't think anyone mentioned that yet

Wow.

Charles Lightoller. It was Lt. Lightoller that send many llifeboats away from Titanic half empty or less.

Lt. Lightoller turned over the officer of the watch on RMS Titanic to Lt. Murdoch, the First officer, about 15 minutes before the collision.
