Bedraggled scraps; Nazi war machine; cornered by slaughter

"I was just there, on the same spring week when the great bedraggled scraps of the French and British armies were cornered for slaughter by the Nazi war machine 77 years ago."

Above sentence is too much complex for me.

First of all what "bedraggled scraps" mean? Can you show its picture?
