Did Germany want to capture Dunkirk because it was a anti submarine base?

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.
