What happened at the Miracle at Dunkirk?

To make it easier for anyone who wants a short answer, at Dunkirk the British army had been pushed back to the beaches by the German forces and faced total wipeout. The waves and weather conditions on the English Channel for months around the date of the miracle were terrible. Massive waves and abnormally windy conditions were so bad that next to no ships that crossed the channel would've made the journey back, let alone small boats crammed with soldiers.

Axis powers were advancing very rapidly, and time was almost out for the Allies One day, and for one day only, the waters were dead calm. The Alllies took advantage of the day to retreat to Britain while sabotaging their equipment and burning down buildings as they left France. All boats within the region who could make the trip across the channel helped to evacuate soldiers, including British citizens.

Over 300 000 soldiers were saved from almost certain death. There were very minimal casualties The very next day, bad conditions resumed in full force on the English Channel. Shortly after, German troops were left with a burnt down and destroyed army base As Churchill observed: Wars are not won by evacuations P.S.The last person to edit this showed absolute disrespect for the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country's freedom from totalitarianism (i.e.

Nazis).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
