What was the date of the battle of Dunkirk?
Battle of DunkirkFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Battle of Dunkirk was a battle in the Second World War between the Allies and Germany. A part of the Battle of France on the Western Front, the Battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation of British and allied forces in Europe from 24 May to 4 June 1940.After the Phoney War, the Battle of France began in earnest on 10 May 1940. To the east, the German Army Group B invaded and subdued the Netherlands and advanced westwards through Belgium. In response, the Supreme Allied Commander French General Maurice Gamelin initiated "Plan D" which relied heavily on the Maginot Line fortifications. Gamelin committed the forces under his command, three mechanised armies, the French First and Seventh and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to the River Dyle. On 14 May, German Army Group A burst through the Ardennes and advanced rapidly to the west toward Sedan, then turned northwards to the English Channel, in what Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein called the "sickle cut" (known as "Plan Yellow" or the Manstein Plan), effectively flanking the Allied forces.
What happened at Dunkirk in1940?
The first part of World War II saw British expeditionary troops attempting to stop the invading German forces in France. The attempt failed, and the British forces were forced back to the sea at Dunkirk, from where they had to be evacuated by anything that floated, all the while under heavy assault from the Germans. The defeat was an humiliating and costly debacle for the British, and a huge propaganda victory for the Nazi invaders. After Dunkirk, it did appear for a while that there would be no stopping the spread of the nazi horror.
