It really depends, because f they were from Belgium, they wouldn't be going there at all because belgium was neutral, on the other hand if they were from Mars it would have taken about three thousand years to swim.

Why English channel was important in regards with world war 2?
First, in 1940, the Germans held France, and were on the verge of wiping out the British army in north France. But, British officials forced anyone that had a boat that could operate on the sea to transport British soldiers from France back to England via the English Channel. This saved the British army in World War 2 in 1940. Second, the British stormed across the English channel on D-day to recapture France. This is what started the liberation of Western Europe. And lastly, the Battle of Britain was fought over the English channel. Britain didn't want the German air force to be over Britain, so Britain met the Germans over the English channel. This way, the Nazi planes didn't have a chance to bomb Britain if they were stopped over the English channel.

Was Dunkirk a miracle or defeat?
It was a miracle for the Allies and defeat for the Germans since there was a thick fog at that time the Luftwaffe was unable to target the British troops and more than 350,000 british troops were rescued by any kind of boat possible (merchant boat fishing boat, etc.) from UK. Hitler could've taken out most of the British army and the outcome of the war could've significantly changed. The Repatriation of over 330 000 Allied soldiers to UK in the summer of 1940 was miraculous. But as Churchill said 'Wars are not won by evacuations'. Hitler was reluctant to commit his armour, it was all he had at the time & France still remained in being as a fighting force.....
