The evacuation from Dunkirk
Dunkirk, the evacuation of the British from capture by the Germans in WW2.
The Dunkirk evacuation took place from May 26 - June 3, 1940. It was a total withdrawal of French and British troops after a massive advance by Germany following the battle of Dunkirk. It is commonly referred to as "the miracle of Dunkirk" because of how many allied soldiers managed to escape alive. At the start, only a few thousand troops were able to be evacuated, but this number quickly grew to over 300,000. Over 700 boats were used from tiny 4 man rowboats, small private fishing vessels, merchant ships and a few dozen British combat ships. Many soldiers waited countless hours in shoulder deep water before they were evacuated.
