Dunkirk, June 1940
There were about 335,000 British troops, and about 50,000 French troops rescued at Dunkirk. Do you want that in alphabetical order, or by rank and unit? Thousands died in the fighting that ended with the withdrawal at Dunkirk.
The beach was at Dunkirk, France.
Operation Dynamo, carried out by volunteers at Dunkirk in 1940, rescued 350,000 British and French soldiers and transported them to England.
In the summer of 1940, 338000 British and French troops were evacuated from the beaches at Dunkirk in Northern France after having been thoroughly beaten by superior German Forces. It was one of the worst defeats the British Army has ever suffered but propaganda at the time made it sound like a victory. There is no doubt that the logistics of the evacuation were nothing short of a miracle.
