In May 1940, more than 3,00,000 British and French soldiers were trapped in Dunkirk port. Although they were surrounded by German soldiers, they luckily got a buffer period before German advancements. Britain sought help from all the people who owned boats or small ships, and rescued around 3,38,000 soldiers.
