When Does "Dunkirk" (2017) Take Place?

"Dunkirk" is a historical fiction war film written by Christopher Nolan that released July 19th, 2017. So when is "Dunkirk" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1940 AD 


We know this because it depicts the real-world evacuation of British and soldiers from beaches near Dunkirk, France which occurred from May 26th, 1940 AD to June 4th, 1940 AD. So it must be the summer of 1940 AD.
