What was the miracle at Dunkirk and Hitler's surprising order that helped to make it possible?
During World War II, the "miracle at Dunkirk" was the successful evacuation of over 300,000 soldiers (mostly British and French) by sea from the small French port of Dunkirk, which was at the same time surrounded by units of the German Army. Although historians do not fully agree on the details, the miraculous evacuation seems to have been made possible in part by an order from Hitler that held back German armored units from advancing against the trapped Allied troops -- until most of them had been embarked for safety.
