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 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.
They were loyal British citizens.
