Dunkirk wasn't a raid, it was an evacuation of around 350,000 Allied (mainly British) troops in may 1940 in the face of advancing German troops. It was a major defeat of the British and French armies but logistically very successful because they were able to evacuate 10 times as many soldiers than expected although they had to leave most of their equipment behind.
