The Dunkirk evacuation took place from May 26 - June 3, 1940. It was a total withdrawal of French and British troops after a massive advance by Germany following the battle of Dunkirk.

At the start, only a few thousand troops were able to be evacuated, but this number quickly grew to over 300,000. Over 700 boats were used from tiny 4 man rowboats, small private fishing vessels, merchant ships and a few dozen British combat ships. Many soldiers waited countless hours in shoulder deep water before they were evacuated.
