They didn't really want to capture Dunkirk. What they wanted to do was to destroy the allied army which went into Belgium to stop the German invasion through the low counties (i.e. Belgium Holland and Luxembourg). Having the Allied army go into Belgium was a part of the German plan to encircle the allied army (which they did around the town of Dunkirk) and then destroy the army before the allied evacuated its army to England by sea.

What followed was a heroic holding action as many many men were evacuated to England.
