Dunkirk was a rout of British soldiers by Germans. The British Expeditionary Force was retreating back to the coast. The defining of it as a 'failure' might be partially mitigated by the heroic efforts of many (including French yacht owners) to save hundreds of thousands of soldiers - including about 100,000 French!
But it was clearly not a "victory" for the allies in any meaningful sense.
1. over 300,000 British and French troops were evacuated successfully from Dunkirk. 2.It was known as the Miracle of Dunkirk which obviously shows that it was thought of as a success.
Who thought Dunkirk was a success?People who was hostile to Hitler thought that Dunkirk was a success. Hitler's armies needed to destroy the British Expeditionary Forces in France, and failed to do so. Britain thought it was a success as the BEF managed to evacuate most of the people (although very little of their equipment) from France to England.Hitler thought it was a disaster.
The English army successfully escaped France and England did not have to soothe for peace, stopping the domination of all Europe.
The Germans thought they were to be in Dunkirk by swallowing allied propaganda. They occurred at Normandy and were called Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword.
