It was a victory , of sorts , for both German and British . It was a short term victory for the Germans : a tactical victory . In the long run it was a British victory because they were able to rebuild an army from around those troops that were evacuated : a strategic victory .

Canadians were not part of the Miracle of Dunkirk when the Brits and French escaped from Dunkirk via 900 different boats and ships.
