"Itu adalah musim panas surgawi, musim panas di mana Prancis jatuh dan Pasukan Ekspedisi Inggris dievakuasi dari Dunkirk. Daun tidak pernah begitu hijau dan berwarna-warni; sinar matahari bersinar di padang rumput bertabur bunga ketika Jerman mengelilingi Garis Maginot dan menyerbu tidak hanya Prancis tetapi Belgia dan Belanda. Birdsong memenuhi udara di jeda antara semburan tembakan dan menemani para pengungsi yang melarikan diri yang menghalangi jalan. Seolah-olah cuaca sedang mempersiapkan requiem yang mulia untuk kematian Eropa."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
It was a heavenly summer, the summer in which France fell and the British Expeditionary Force was evacuated from Dunkirk. Leaves were never such an intense and iridescent green; sunlight glinted on flower-studded meadows as the Germans encircled the Maginot Line and overran not only France but Belgium and Holland. Birdsong filled the air in the lull between bursts of gunfire and accompanied the fleeing refugees who blocked the roads. It was as though the weather was preparing a glorious requiem for the death of Europe.
