Operation "Dynamo" was a very ad-hoc and disorganised activity. Typically, the British authorities did not admit the magnitude of the problem until the last minute any many of "the little ships" were informed, effectively, by word of mouth. Under fire, the boats' masters were mainly concerned with picking up whoever they could and getting back across the channel. A name-count was carried out on arrival. Back in the 1970s there were a few reunions of soldiers and boat crew, unfortunately most of the participants have died off now from natural causes.

How did the British rescue the army at Dunkirk?
The main part of the British Army was retreating from the collapse of the French Army under assault by Germany in the spring of 1940. The Royal Navy had very little amphibious capability at that time, and there was no way that the Navy would be able to lift the Army off of the shore. In one of those "miracles" that cannot be planned or orchestrated, English fishermen, pleasure boaters, ferry operators, and anybody who had anything that would float sailed from England to the peninsula of Dunkirk on the coast of France, just north of Calais. The boaters and sailors evacuated the vast majority of the British troops and over 120,000 French soldiers, but left behind the majority of their vehicles and artillery. Over 330,000 British and allied troops were evacuated to England.

What key event took place at Dunkirk during world war 2?
Dunkirk is a French port town. The Allied Forces were driven back by the Germans to the French coast. There was a big threat that the Germans would destroy all of the soldiers, sailors and airmen if they could not be evacuated. The Navy allocated as many ships as were available to bring the men out but word got out to the people on the south coast of England and lots of people who had boats capable of getting to France and back set off to rescue the fighting men. Huge numbers of little boats crossed the Channel (as that stretch of water is known - La Manche in France). Because it captured the imagination of the British people that people with little boats would risk their lives to save others Dunkirk became a huge symbol in British language and the Dunkirk Spirit is when people rally together to help one another when things go badly wrong.

How did the evacuation of Dunkirk take place?
Many french and british soldiers were stuck on the shores of Dunkirk with the enemy in front and the English Channel behind. And loads of boats, fishing, yahts,luxury, every type of boat appeared to resure the stranded men. The large naval vessels could not get inshore close enough to pick up the men on the beaches, so smaller boats motor launches etc with a shallow draught came in to pick up the men,then sail out to the naval ships and transfer them ,then return for another load thereby shuttleing back and forth to the beach for about a week under constant attack from aircraft and fire from the land . Churchill insisted that equal numbers of Frenchmen and British were brought back ,but in the confusion, who was counting, they just got men aboard whoever they were.300,000 were saved,but all their equipment etc was left behind tgive space to men.
