The “Miracle of Dunkirk” took place May 26 – June 4, 1940, when thousands of Allied soldiers were trapped by advancing German forces on the beaches of Dunkirk, France. As the battle continued,
many were transported to safety by the combined efforts of both military and civilian vessels. The history of the massive evacuation, as well as the personal stories of those involved, will unfold in the upcoming filmDunkirk
