2nd highest graded
The battle for France began in May 1940 where 400,00 British and French forces engaged an 800,000 strong German force. After several engagements, the German army flanked the Allied forces and drove them to the French port of Dunkirk. With their backs against the sea, there was little hope against the Germans. However, the Germans stopped advancing for three days, fearing that the Allied armies might be able to break through. This allowed time for the Allies to arrange an evacuation plan. While 338,000 troops were evacuated, over 61,000 were killed, wounded or captured.
While a costly defeat, it could have been much worse. This occurred between May 26 - June 4 1940.
