I think that it is difficult to know that number of soldiers with certainty. The units in Sicily in 1943 & Normandy in 1944 would have been mostly different from those that evacuated at Dunkirk. Maybe there is a Dunkirk Evacuation Association that keeps track of that information.

What other challenge questions besides thunder flash were used in World War 2?
There were thousands in use throughout the war. Most ground units changed them daily. These were called "sign" & "counter-sign" or "challenge" & "password". They were mostly determined at the local level, so I doubt that there is a list of all those that were actually used. During Operation Huskey One, the American airborne drop on Sicily, the challenge "George" was answered by the countersign "Marshall". Night drops such as Sicily and Normandy had these unique "challenge-password" combinations since the would be operating at night. In Normandy, clickers were also used with one click being answered by two clicks.
Why did aircraft have the stripes on their wings for the invasion of Europe and not before?
The stripes were to identify Allied Aircraft to Allied Anti-Aircraft Units so that the aircraft carrying the Allied Airborne Forces would not be shot down by their own anti-aircraft units as they were at Sicily. The only Airborne operations between Sicily & Normandy was at Salerno. There the entire Fifth Army was simply ordered not to fire their weapons on a particular night. Richard V.
