The three pilots represent the many in the Royal Air Force fighting against the Gerrys who were going to town on the helpless boats/servicemen.

I know the Germans harassed them during the battle but isn't it common knowledge that Germans held semi restraint.  Sure they were stretched thin, exhausted, etc... but they could have still went in there with the Panzers and probably wrecked shop.  Fact is they halted when perhaps they should have just pushed them into the sea before any rescue could have happened.  Basically the only reason why so many were able to flee was due to mistakes within the German high command.
