The Dunkirk retreat, why did the Allies rescue 330,000 people in 9 days?

The operational ideas were unified, the retreat route was well planned, and the weather and terrain conditions at that time were also very suitable for retreat.

With a tenacious will. During the war, the Allied forces gave full play to the spirit of unity and cooperation, and rescued 330,000 people in nine days with tenacious will and sacrifice.

Because the Allies had a very unified idea at that time, that is, to retreat from Dunkirk, they arranged a retreat while organizing defense. All the forces that could be mobilized were mobilized to complete the great retreat of 330,000 people.

In 1940, the largest military retreat in the history of the British and French forces, the Dunkirk retreat, marked the fall of major European regions except Britain into German hands.

How many people were evacuated from the Dunkirk retreat.

The Dunkirk retreat, which lasted nine days from May 26 to June 4, 1940, saw a total of 338226 withdrawn to Britain, with about 10,000 British troops, 90,000 French troops, and about 10,000 Belgian troops. On the beaches of Dunkirk, the British and French forces discarded a total of 1,200 artillery pieces, 750 anti-aircraft guns, 500 anti-tank guns, 10,000 cars, 10,000 motorcycles, 700 tanks, 10,000 machine guns, 6,400 anti-tank guns, and 500,000 tons of military supplies.

How the losses of the Dunkirk retreat were almost rolled.

Many later historians estimated that more than 40,000 British and French troops were captured and more than 20,000 died in the retreat, so the Dunkirk retreat totaled 68,000 British and French soldiers. In addition to the man, the Dunkirk retreat also lost some important strategic resources, the British mobilized a total of 861 ships of various types into the retreat, but 226 British ships and 17 French ships were sunk by the Germans, a total of 250 ships were no longer in service in this retreat, the British Air Force lost 106 luxury aircraft, and the French lost 140 fighters. Later generations also have historians who have different views on the specific loss of the Dunkirk retreat, they believe that the French losses in this retreat are not large, but according to the official French records, the French not only killed and wounded more than 40,000 people in this retreat, but also some air force pilots and excellent generals were killed in the retreat, so these people's ** should also be included.
