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.
Germans were able to do minimal damage to these troops, and the miracle at Dunkirk was complete. Many think that without this mass evacuation, the war could not have been won, as many of the troops who were evacuated were the same ones who stormed the beaches on D-day, nearly 5 years later.
