Who won the battle of Dunkirk and who lost?

The Battle of Dunkirk, fought between May 26 and June 4, 1940, resulted in a significant victory for the German forces, who successfully encircled Allied troops. However, the evacuation of over 330,000 Allied soldiers, primarily British and French, is often viewed as a strategic success for the Allies despite the loss of territory. The operation, known as Dunkirk or Operation Dynamo, allowed the Allies to save a large portion of their forces for future battles. In summary, while the Germans won the battle, the Allies managed to achieve a critical evacuation success.

What problems existed after Germany took over Dunkirk?

They couldn't handle the weather conditions there. Edit: Just to add on, weather conditions were bad for most of May 1940 in Dunkirk (General Franz Halder kept a very detailed journal) during the evacuation of the BEF at Dunkirk. He lamented how upset he was that thousands of men were escaping across the English Channel right under their noses, and they couldn't do that much to stop them. Dunkirk was later a major base for Germany during the Battle of Britain. Until 1944 when the allies recovered France from the Germans, Dunkirk was a relatively good place to be if you were a Wehrmacht troop. It was well funded, had a constant influx of troops, and people weren't stationed there for too long.
