Dunkirk: The Miracle of the Little Ships

Operation Dynamo was the code name for the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and other allied forces from Dunkirk, France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940.

The operation was launched after the German army had broken through the French defenses and cut off the BEF from the rest of the Allied armies.

The evacuation was a success, with over 338,000 troops being rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk.

The success of the operation was due in large part to the efforts of the Royal Navy, which organized the evacuation and provided the ships to transport the troops.

The evacuation was also aided by the efforts of the Royal Air Force, which provided air cover for the ships and the beaches.

The success of Operation Dynamo was a major turning point in the war.

It gave the British time to regroup and rebuild their forces, and it also boosted morale at home and abroad.
