saved over 300,000 troops by sending out nearly anything that would float. .................................................................................................. In June 1940 the British Expeditionary Force, together with The French and Belgian armies, were cut off by German forces because they were utterly unprepared for the strength of the latter. They retreated to Dunkirk, and during the course of the next nine days 200,000 British and 140,000 French soldiers were evacuated by a total of some 850 ships. This saved the Army from utter defeat; the question of why Germany did not capitalise on their advantage was a mystery for years but eventually blame was placed on Hitler, because he wanted to use the Luftwaffe to bombard the troops on the beach, but the weather was too poor. 40,000 of the French were taken to other French ports, but they were captured shortly after by the Germans anyway when France fell.

Who fought in the battle of Dunkirk?
The British, as they were able to get most of the British Expeditionary Force evacuated from the encircled position. The Germans stopped their ground forces from pushing them into the sea as the Luftwaffe leader, Reichsmarshall Herman Goering, said to Hitler that the Luftwaffe could crush the evacuation ships, and he was unsucsessfull.Another opinion8000 British troops saved 300,000 British and French troops, so the British technically one. The only thing is that even though Germany had an unsuccessful attack, some British and French soldiers died, so they both won.
