Best Answer

It was one of the reasons but not an important one to Nazi Germany

The real reason that Dunkirk became the important battle was that the allied forces retreated to that point as they were pushed across France.

What followed was a heroic holding action as many many men were evacuated to England.

The loss of Dunkirk to Germany and the successful evacuation of such a large number of soldiers set the stage for the eventual invasion of Europe.

If the evacuation had not been as successful it may have set the war back years.

Why did Germany want to capture Dunkirk?

They didn't really want to capture Dunkirk. What they wanted to do was to destroy the allied army which went into Belgium to stop the German invasion through the low counties (i.e. Belgium Holland and Luxembourg). Having the Allied army go into Belgium was a part of the German plan to encircle the allied army (which they did around the town of Dunkirk) and then destroy the army before the allied evacuated its army to England by sea.
