Despite a series of desperate counter-attacks, the Allies are unable to break through the German lines. With the English Channel at their backs, British and French troops are trapped at Dunkirk. In one of the most widely debated decisions of the war, the Germans halt their advance. This gives the Royal Navy a much-needed three days to prepare for the evacuation. May 26, 1940 - The rescue operation begins, with French forces enduring heavy German artillery fire and aerial attacks from the Luftwaffe as their comrades make their escape. By June 4th, the Nazis take control of the docks at Dunkirk. With the assistance of civilian and commercial vessels, 338,000 men were rescued in 11 days, in what became known as Operation Dynamo.\n
