Was the British Army, and Britain as a whole, saved by the miracle of Operation Dynamo at Dunkirk.

Looking for some source material to use in a classroom essay assignment about Dunkirk. Any primary sources you have about Dunkirk and its significance to the eventual Axis defeat would be great!

EDIT: I am a teacher, assigning the essay. Not a student, writing the essay.

Thanks.

Spartacus Educational has a useful few things: http://spartacus-educational.com/2WWdunkirk.htm As does the national archives, though more in terms of numbers than overall significance: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/worldwar2/theatres-of-war/western-europe/investigation/invasion/sources/docs/2/transcript.htm And the British Library provides a nice simple headline: http://www.bl.uk/learning/timeline/item105798.html
