Was the Dunkirk Evacuation a defeat or a victory?

It was a defeat. The British Army had gone to France to assist the French in fighting the Germans, to keep the Germans from overrunning France, just as they had helped the French in WWI. But in 1940, when Germany ended the "sitzkreig" and attacked France, this time, France was completely defeated in six weeks. The British were forced to try to evacuate their army, and they escaped at Dunkirk. Exactly why the Germans allowed this to happen is not entirely clear. The Germans themselves were surprised at the rapidity with which they defeated the French and British, and a bit disorganized. Its said that Herman Goering, head of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) promised Hitler that his air force could destroy the surrounded British. The Luftwaffe was the most Nazi of the German service branches, owing its very existence to Hitler. A German Air Force had been forbidden under the Versailles Treaty, but Hitler started one anyway in 1935. So Hitler allowed the Air Force to try to finish off the British, but they failed. Perhaps Hitler also hoped that now that the British had been defeated on the continent, they would be willing to make some sort of arrangement for peace with Germany, so he went easy on them. But the British wickedly refused to make peace with Germany, infuriating Hitler, and for a year after Dunkirk only Britain was at war with Germany. Some 300,000 British troops escaped from France at Dunkirk, and about 30,000 French troops as well. But they got away without their tanks, trucks or artillery. They were, in essence, not really an army until these things could be replaced, merely a large crowd armed with light infantry weapons. If the Germans had managed to invade Britain it would have been difficult to defend without their heavy arms and equipment.

To What extent did the evacuation of Dunkirk helped to determine the outcome of World War 2?

Soldiers rescued on the Dunkirk beaches went home were re-armed and later returned for the invasion of France. AnswerNeither UK nor the US were fully prepared for war. So there were some losses and retreats by both countries during the first year or so. Sometimes, men had to be sacrificed because relief could not be provided. The British went into France to help stop the German advance. These sacrifices helped mold the countries into a unified force. The retreat of Dunkirk did save those troops from capture but it also helped the British commanders realize that reteat had to be accepted until they could get more prepared for war. It also strengthened their resolution to defend their own country during the Battle of Britian. Also, General Harold Alexander was placed in charge of the evacuation of Dunkirk. He was the last British general to leave the beaches. Then he was selected to go to Burma and try to pull together a defense there. But he had to accpet retreat and eventually evacuated that country to the advancing Jap army. Even after these two defeats, he was recognized for his outstanding leadership and was knighted. The decisions during the early years of the war would have a significant outcome on the planning and execution of the campaigns that would follow in North Africa, Asia, Pacific and eventually, Germany.CustermenReferences: "Alex" - by Nigle Nicolson.
