Dunkirk, the newest epic from Christopher Nolan, retells one of the iconic legends of the Second World War. From May 27 until June 4, 1940, more than 338,000 Allied troops who'd been encircled by the Nazis at Dunkirk, France, were evacuated by sea. About 100,000 were lifted from the beaches during Operation Dynamo, and the rest were taken from the harbor and the wooden breakwater. An estimated 933 ships took part; 236 were lost and 61 put out of action.
