During the retreat, more than 40,000 British and French troops were captured, and more than 28,000 were killed in action. Some of these casualties were killed in the fight against the German attack to hold the crucial line of defense, and some were on the beach waiting to board the ship. They were killed by German airstrikes and artillery fire, and others died at sea with ships sunk by the Germans.

The British mobilized a total of 861 ships of various types into the retreat, and 226 British and 17 French ships were sunk by the Germans.

In order to cover the retreat, the British Air Force dispatched a total of 2,739 fighters for air cover, with an average of 300 sorties per day, effectively resisting the German air raids. The British lost 106 aircraft, and British fighters and ground anti-aircraft fire shot down about 140 German aircraft.

A luxury cruise ship named "Lancastria", which was requisitioned as a retreating military transport ship, was sunk by the Germans, killing at least 3,500 British soldiers. This shipwreck killed more people than the Titanic. The British government has since blocked the information.
