Why did the evacuation of Dunkirk happen?
In May 1940, the combined British and French armies were thoroughly beaten by the advancing German army. A plan was devised to rescue the British Army from France but most of the ports were in German hands, so it was decided to evacuate them from the beaches near Dunkirk in northern France. The problem was that the water was too shallow for larger ships to get inshore so hundreds of small boats were sent over to France from southern England to ferry the soldiers from the beaches to the waiting ships off-shore. While this was happening, they were under constant air attack from the German Luftwaffe. By the end of 'Operation Dynamo' around 338,000 British and French troops had been saved - 10 times more than had been expected, but all of their equipment had to be left behind. Because of this, it became known as 'the miracle' of Dunkirk.
