British Troops evacuated from Dunkirk on H-calss destroyer HMS Harvester (H19) about to berth at Dover, 31 May 1940.

The Dunkirk evacuation or Operation Dynamo was the evacuation of more than 338,000 Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, in the north of France, between 26th May and 4th June 1940. The operation commenced after large numbers of Belgian, British and French troops were cut off and surrounded by German troops during the six-week Battle of France. In a speech to the British House of Commons on 4th June, Prime Minister Winston Churchill hailed their rescue as a ‘miracle of deliverance’.

Wars are not won by evacuations.
But there was a victory inside this deliverance which should be noted.
Dunkirk (dir. Christopher Nolan), 2017
My brain has the annoying habit of waking me in the middle of the night with questions like: "Who's the moron who invented monotheism? Or, two nights ago: "What happened to the French soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk during the Operation Dynamo in May/June 1940?"
(They were mostly sent straight back to France to keep fighting until the French armistice of June 22 1940)
How many of them fought on in the Free French Forces and how many of them simply repatriated back to France?
How French memories of the Dunkirk evacuation differ from those of the British.
From a forum, in French, some found letters and postcards sent from England by some French soldiers.
