If the BEF had been captured, it would have meant the loss of Britain’s only trained troops and the collapse of the Allied cause. The successful evacuation was a great boost to civilian morale, and created the ‘Dunkirk spirit’ which helped Britain to fight on in the summer of 1940.
Why was Dunkirk a victory?
The evacuation of 338,226 troops and other personnel from the beaches of northern France – which took place between May 26 and June 4 1940 – was an act of stubborn defiance by a plucky island nation against Hitler’s blitzkrieg. It was a victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.
Do you consider that Dunkirk was a success or a defeat?
Dunkirk was in essence a defeat, but there was a victory in the impact it had on the country’s morale and national identity during the war – which was largely shaped by the British media.
