Best Answer

Dunkirk was the place in France from which about 340.000 British and French troops were evacuated to England after fleeing the advancing German army. It wasn't really a 'battle' as such, but you could call it a rearguard action. the british at the time called it 'The Miracle of Dunkirk' in that so many men were snatched from being prisoners of war.
