Dunkirk - a few facts.  338,226 troops were evacuated from Dunkirk between 27 May and 4 June 1940.  98,780 men were lifted from the beaches; 239,446 from the harbour and mole (a wooden breakwater protecting the harbour) at Dunkirk.  933 ships took part in Operation Dynamo, of which 236 were lost and 61 put out of action.
Yet Dynamo resulted in more than 338,000 men being evacuated from the beaches or from the Mole. Dunkirk had been transformed from disaster to victory, and soon became a byword for the sacrifice and heroism of the 1940 campaign in Belgium and France.
