The Operation Dynamo Memorial in Dunkirk is a museum dedicated to the Dunkirk evacuation, which took place during the Second World War, from May 26 to June 4, 1940. Operation Dynamo, organized by the Allies, aimed to save British, French and Belgian troops surrounded by German forces during the Battle of Dunkirk.

The memorial is located in a former blockhouse, a vestige of the German fortifications. It tells the dramatic story of the evacuation through exhibitions, photographs, historical documents and period military objects. More than 338,000 soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk to England, thanks to a motley fleet of military ships and civilian boats.

This place allows us to understand the military strategy of the time, the progress of the operation, as well as the international cooperation that made it possible to save these troops. The memorial also honors the memory of the soldiers and civilians who participated in this historic operation, sometimes called the “miracle of Dunkirk.”
