"Galvanized" is an adjective used to describe steel which has been coated with zinc metal. Galvanized steel is quite well protected from corrosion by the zinc coating which provides the steel with both physical and chemical protection. There are currently 3 processes which are used for galvanizing steel: (1) hot dip galvanizing, (2) electrogalvanizing, and (3) thermal diffusion galvanizing.

Why was the Battle of Dunkirk a motavational miracle in Britain?

I don't think it was. Dunkirk returned to Britain many soldiers, hundreds of thousands, by very good fortune. They left all their equipment behind. What it did, by use of propaganda, was to galvanise the British in defence & defiance of Nazism. But it was undoubtedly a defeat ! There would now be 4 long years before the British would return to France. Stating the obvious:Wars are not won by defeats.
