The Battle of Dunkirk was part of the Battle of France operation and responsible for the defense and evacuation of French and British forces to Britain in May and June, 1940. The situation seemed dire when the Germans, after crossing the channel went north, a decision that could have trapped French and British soldiers before they could be evacuated to Britain. However, the Germans halted the advance on Dunkirk, deciding instead to consolidate forces. This action enabled the evacuation to complete successfully.
