The French at Dunkirk were primarily rescued by the British Royal Navy and a fleet of civilian boats during Operation Dynamo in May-June 1940. This massive evacuation effort, which included fishing vessels, pleasure boats, and merchant ships, successfully evacuated hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers, including many French troops, from the beaches of Dunkirk to safety across the English Channel. The operation is often celebrated for its remarkable achievement despite the dire circumstances of the Battle of France.
