∙ 15y agoDunkirk was a political disaster but a strategic and morale success for Britain Dunkirk for the British was a miraculous escape, but as Churchill said wars are not won by defeats. It is probable the lack of committing the panzers from the German point of view is that Hitler needed to use them in future operations & could ill afford their loss at that stage of WW2. The escape to freedom of over 330 000 men (Albeit leaving their equipment in France) was beyond all expectation.
