1st Czech Brigade
The vertical spacing, (or lack of it) of this list, gives the impression that the 1st Czechoslovak Armoured Brigade (from 9 October until surrender on 9 May 1945):


 * 1st Czechoslovak Tank Battalion
 * 2nd Czechoslovak Tank Battalion
 * 1st Czechoslovak Motorised Infantry Battalion (two companies)
 * Field Artillery Regiment (two battalions)
 * Anti-tank battalion
 * Armoured Reconnaissance Squadron
 * Field Engineers Company
 * 7th Royal Tank Regiment
 * 2nd Canadian Heavy Anti-aircraft Regiment
 * 109th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery
 * 125th Light Anti-aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery
 * Two Free French infantry battalions (formed from the FFI)

was about the largest formation in the Allied forces (including some Divisions) !

Is this list correct?

 * Yes, the 1st Czechoslovak Armd Bde formed a brigade group, with British, Canadian and French units attached, under Maj.Gen Liska's command. It's in the source, but I've clarified it in the text. Xyl 54 (talk) 22:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Why would the results of this be indecisive? It is a siege. Dunkirk was declared a fort. The Garrison not only successfully defended the fort against Canadians and the Cheks, and withstood the siege, but they came out of the fort, attacked the Allies, and pushed them back 10 kilometres!, They didn't surrender till after the war was over! Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:14, 3 June 2020 (UTC) So if the basic aim of a fort was to withstand a seige, they did that, and more.
