Hundreds of thousands of British soldiers, and some of their allies, were able to leave Dunkirk, France and sail back to England. They left their heavy equipment and vehicles on the beach. They returned back to Europe eventually and liberated it from Nazi Germany, along with the help of the Americans and the Russians and people from other nations.
The British hired mercenaries from Germany to help their army. Hope this helps: :)

Dunkirk is a French port town. The Allied Forces were driven back by the Germans to the French coast. There was a big threat that the Germans would destroy all of the soldiers, sailors and airmen if they could not be evacuated. The Navy allocated as many ships as were available to bring the men out but word got out to the people on the south coast of England and lots of people who had boats capable of getting to France and back set off to rescue the fighting men. Huge numbers of little boats crossed the Channel (as that stretch of water is known - La Manche in France). Because it captured the imagination of the British people that people with little boats would risk their lives to save others Dunkirk became a huge symbol in British language and the Dunkirk Spirit is when people rally together to help one another when things go badly wrong.
Dunkirk helped get about half a million allied soldiers to safety and off Dunkirk beach. These soldiers were prisoners, and these could then help in the war on land.Let's explain what Dunkirk was first. Dunkirk is a port town in France on the English Channel. After France and Great Britain went to war with Germany they were great defeated by Germanies Bltizkreig or Lightning war. They were pushed back to Dunkirk and forced to retreat back to England. Thousands of British and some French troops crossed the Channel on Civilian and Military warships. This retreat/battle was important beacause it meant Germany had complete control over Europe until they invaded Russia in 1941. After Dunkirk Germany started Operation Sealion (The invasion of England). So it was not so important for the United Kingdom but Germany since the United Kingdom really just lost thousands of men and was forced from direct land combat. Hope this helped.

Around 200 British, Belgian and French marine vessels were sunk, destroyed or went missing during the Battle of Dunkirk. Many of them were civilian ships, such as fishing trawlers, who responded to Winston Churchill's plea for volunteersto help evacuate the stranded troops.

Well, honey, the British navy couldn't rescue their own because they were too busy dealing with their own mess. See, the British were too preoccupied fighting off the Germans during the Dunkirk evacuation in World War II. So, in short, they were basically like, "Sorry, can't help you, we've got our own drama to deal with."
