The Battle of Dunkirk was fought early in WWII as thousands of British troops were stranded on the northern beaches of France as the German troops converged on them. Every seaworthy vessel that the British could get their hands on was used to ferry the desperate troops across the channel to safety.

The Battle of Dunkirk (French: Bataille de Dunkerque) was a major battle during World War II which lasted from May 26 to June 4, 1940. A large force of British and French soldiers were cut off in northern France by a German armoured advance to the Channel coast at Calais. Over 330,000 Allied troops caught in the pocket were subsequently evacuated by sea to England in Operation Dynamo.
