Who won the battle of Dunkirk and who lost?

The Battle of Dunkirk, fought between May 26 and June 4, 1940, resulted in a significant victory for the German forces, who successfully encircled Allied troops. However, the evacuation of over 330,000 Allied soldiers, primarily British and French, is often viewed as a strategic success for the Allies despite the loss of territory. The operation, known as Dunkirk or Operation Dynamo, allowed the Allies to save a large portion of their forces for future battles. In summary, while the Germans won the battle, the Allies managed to achieve a critical evacuation success.
