During the Dunkirk evacuation from May 26 to June 4, 1940, a total of around 200 ships were sunk, including military vessels and civilian boats. The operation, known as Operation Dynamo, successfully evacuated approximately 338,000 Allied soldiers despite the losses. The sinking of these ships was a significant setback for Allied forces but also highlighted the determination and resourcefulness of those involved in the evacuation.
