What happened at dunkirk during WW2?

Answer 1

When the German military was planning on bombing the British, the cloudy sky made it impossible to see the British Troops, giving the british time to sail off away carrying off troops, which was a miracle.

Answer 2

At Dunkirk the British Expeditionary Force, section of the army, were forced to retreat from Nazi occupied France. Upon reaching the coast, at Dunkirk, they met hundreds of small civilian British boats from across the channel called up to transport the men from the beach to the larger ships. They did this under the attack of the German Air-force.

Answer 3

Germany forced the Allies off the continent.

The British and Allied Forces had been driven to the Dunkirk beaches and were rescued only after heavy casualties and a heroic operation by the "little ships", including pleasure boats of all kinds, ferries, fishing boats and many other small craft, each capable of carrying back to Britain some of the troops wading out to them. More than 100,000 men were rescued in this way.

Answer 4

The British and French armies were surrounded and defeated. When it seemed they would all be taken prisoner, a remarkable naval effort started evacuating soldiers off the beaches around Dunkirk. Everything from destroyers to small motor boats was sent over the Channel to pick up whoever they could find. In the end 338,000 British and French soldiers were brought back to England.
