The film features a hospital ship being sunk by air attack while moored to the Mole, drowning many of the wounded on board. The single hospital ship sunk in the actual evacuation, HMHS Paris, did not sink at the Mole. She was bombed in the English Channel en route to Dunkirk and disabled, only sinking around 5 hours later, and with no fatalities other than those killed immediately by the bombings. Note, however, that there is no indication that the ship in the film is meant to be the Paris, and its sinking may be a fictional event placed in the real-life context of the Dunkirk evacuations.
