The French and British retreated to the seacoast town of Dunkirk during World War II. This evacuation, known as Operation Dynamo, took place in May and June of 1940, allowing Allied forces to escape the advancing German army. Dunkirk became a symbol of resilience, as hundreds of thousands of soldiers were rescued despite the challenging circumstances.
