(French Dunkerque) Seaport on the north coast of France, in Nord département, on the Strait of Dover; Its harbor is one of the foremost in France, and it has widespread canal links with the rest of France and with Belgium; there is a ferry service to Ramsgate, England. Industries include oil refining, fishing, and the manufacture of textiles, machinery, and soap. Dunkirk was close to the front line during much of World War I, and in World War II, 337,131 Allied troops (including about 110,000 French) were evacuated from the beaches as German forces approached.
Operation Dynamo, the seaborne evacuation of Allied troops May 1940, was a much-needed boost to morale, particularly in Britain. A motley fleet of over 1,000 ships, from warships down to private yachts, was assembled and sailed to Dunkirk. It was anticipated that perhaps 45,000 troops could be rescued before the Germans took the town. In the event, the Germans, thinking that the British troops penned inside Dunkirk could be safely left there, turned to complete their occupation of N France. This leeway proved vital, giving the British sufficient time to evacuate some many more troops than had been believed possible and averting a potential disaster for the Allied effort.
