Why didnt he bail over the beach?

Why didnt he bail over the beach?

Getting caught was part of his plan

maybe he was fighting some more after that last shot of him downing the plane and nolan the hack forgot to show it like he always forgets shit

U DUN GIT ITT

UR GUTTA HAV IQ OFF UVER 300 TA UNDARSTAND DIS QUINU

He was too low to safely bail out

I assumed it was so he could make sure the plane was completely destroyed so the Germans couldn't use it.

But what this guys says also makes sense.

Why did he burn the plane? Was it just because the Germans were trying to grab his prize?

To watch the fire rise

The Brits left behind all their supplies, so did the French, one plane wouldnt turn the tide

it was early in the war, the Germans could have used it to steal technology or engine ideas or just straight up repair and put it back on service.

I'm pretty sure they did the latter a lot by the end of the war once the luftwaffe was a done for.

The real plane at Dunkirk crash landed on the beach and was a favourite photo op for the German troops.

Spitfires are pretty rare though so they landed it on its wheels in the film, a true feat and daring risk in itself.

what was his plan?

Landing his plane with one survivor

The Me-109 and Spitfire were pretty similar in terms of technology. Engine design in particular required a long development and manufacturing run-up, so once you were mass producing them you were pretty much stuck. That's why they slapped the Merlin into the Mustang to give it high altitude performance. Valuable technology in WW2 would be things like codes, radio frequencies, radar sets, radar countermeasures, homing torpedoes etc.

I’m not for meme conspiracies but I’m convinced that Tom Hardy’s arc was just an elaborate banepost

>tfw you create a better plane by putting a 109's engine in a spitfire.

he was too big of a guy

Technology you brainlet.

Too low altitude to use a parachute i suppose

the nazis expected one them in the wreckage, brother.

...

The germans had better technology.

on paper

They had advantages in some areas and where behind in others. Radar for example was a huge advantage to the western allies.

But there was plenty of time to board the ships. There were still tons of soldiers left on the beach when he ran out of fuel.

fpbp

I wonder why this movie resonates with so many Sup Forumsers

A big guy crashing planes with no survivors wearing a mask for you

Why didn't he landed on the water?
