11:32Now PlayingIn May 1940, Allied forces were trapped by advancing German troops near the French port of Dunkirk during World War II. Hundreds of thousands of British, French, and Belgian soldiers faced capture or death as German tanks closed in. Britain launched Operation Dynamo, a massive evacuation effort using naval ships and civilian boats to rescue the stranded troops across the English Channel. Between May 26 and June 4, over 338,000 soldiers were successfully evacuated to Britain. Despite heavy bombing and constant danger, the evacuation became a symbol of courage, determination, and survival. Dunkirk allowed Britain to continue the war against Nazi Germany after France collapsed.
