On June 3, 1940, the last British and French troops were evacuated from Dunkirk. From the article:
"'Dynamo' began on 26 May. Strong defences were established around Dunkirk, and the Royal Air Force sent all available aircraft to protect the evacuation. Over 800 naval vessels of all shapes and sizes helped to transport troops across the English Channel. The last British troops were evacuated on 3 June, with French forces covering their escape."

I read several interviews that were done after the evacuation from both evacuees and those who took their boats out to rescue them. Unbelievable!
