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.

It was sarcasm used by the press back in 1976 & 1977 when the after effects of the evacuation was in full swing; when they said, "my gosh...their crossing the ocean in BOATS!"
