    The Dunkirk retreat, Germany stopped, giving Britain and France the opportunity to withdraw 330,000 people because Hitler underestimated the strength of Britain.

    Because nearly 340,000 Anglo-French troops were withdrawn from the sea to Britain this time, the future battle against the German fascists was preserved.

    I don't know much about why Germany stopped the retreat from Dunkirk and gave Britain and France the opportunity to evacuate 330,000 people.

    Because Hitler overestimated himself and underestimated the strength of Britain and France, they withdrew 330,000 people.

    The Dunkirk Evacuation was an important event in the successful retreat of Anglo-French forces from the beaches of Dunkirk in northern France during World War II. Many historians believe that Hitler's decision to let go of the Anglo-French forces was a foolish one, as these soldiers would eventually become enemies of Germany. There are several reasons why Hitler made such a stupid decision.

    First of all, Hitler did not fully understand the nature of the war, and he believed that letting go of these encircled enemies would mean another victory for Germany. Secondly, he believed that these soldiers certainly did not have enough morale and equipment to go to war again, so there was no danger in releasing them from Germany. In addition, the military commander Gerd von Rundstedt made a similar opinion, arguing that the Anglo-French forces had been defeated, that the release of his soldiers was only an "act of forgiveness", and that the soldiers would eventually be defeated by the Germans.

    In general, Hitler's decision to let go of the Anglo-French forces was very wrong. If these soldiers had been captured or killed, they would not have become enemies of Germany again. However, as a result of this German decision, a large number of Anglo-French troops survived and returned to the war, eventually playing a crucial role in World War II.

    A total of more than 330,000 people were evacuated, including about 10,000 British troops, about 90,000 French troops, and about 10,000 Belgian troops, and the French troops were also withdrawn;

    If you ask the whole country why the French army did not withdraw, because it had already surrendered.

    The landlord said that in the Dunkirk retreat in 1940, a total of 330,000 British and French troops withdrew to Britain, including about 210,000 British soldiers and 120,000 French soldiers. The French account for 1 3, how can it be said that there are no French?

    At that time, the main force of the Anglo-French army was about 400,000 people, and 80,000 French soldiers failed to retreat after bravely breaking down in order to cover the retreat of the Anglo-French army.

    Some of them also retreated with the British. The French believe that as long as they surrender, they can stay in the motherland, and there is no concept in the concept of Westerners that they must fight to the end, and it is not a shame to surrender if they can't fight.

    It was entirely a matter of the German high command. The Anglo-French infantry had been surrounded, and the armored forces in it were completely overwhelming, but the Luftwaffe commander Goering, in order to compete for the merit, persuaded Hope Teller to stop the infantry attack and use aircraft to attack instead. You must know that aerial bombs cannot be exploded on the beach, which seriously affects the power and lethality.

    If you use infantry, you can definitely annihilate the British and French forces! All the Anglo-French victories were won by the German high-level competition!

    That was the helpless move of the British and French troops, Germany was not satisfied with the territorial status quo at that time, and the British and French were still attacked by Germany under the appeasement policy, and the Dunkirk retreat occurred, of which the British and French troops reached as many as 300,000.

    I don't understand: the retreat, of course, will be successful.

    The Dunkirk retreat affected more than European relations.

    The smooth retreat of 300,000 Allied troops can be said to have a direct impact on the war situation after World War II.

    If the Allies had been defeated at that time, the current pattern of Europe and even the world would have been rewritten.

    The key reasons why the Anglo-French forces were retreating in the Dunkirk area were:

    1) The Germans adopted a roundabout tactic and avoided the Maginot Line, which completely failed the previous war preparation plan of the Anglo-French forces.

    2) The blitzkrieg of the German army (the rapid advance of concentrated armored forces) led to the division and encirclement of the corps cluster of the Anglo-French army, and the situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable.

    3) The Germans occupied absolute air superiority and mastered absolute air supremacy over the battlefield.

    Under the combined effect of the above three points, if the Anglo-French forces did not carry out a timely and effective (organized) general retreat, they would inevitably be completely annihilated by the German army. This was not only very unfavorable to the war situation at that time, but even to the overall development of World War II after that. Of course, the reason for this result was, on the one hand, the inadequacy of Britain and France for the outbreak of war, coupled with the long-term appeasement policy towards Germany.

    On the other hand, the training and implementation of the German army's new tactics and tactics were not properly studied, and in the end, they suffered the consequences.

    At this stage, the main tactics of the German army were to first deter with air force, then quickly break through with armored mobile units, and finally surround and destroy the enemy army by infantry, which is the so-called "blitzkrieg".

    According to records, Poland was the largest army in Europe at that time, but the German army, with its mechanized troops, destroyed much more Polish air force and land in three weeks;

    The blitzkrieg gave full play to the role of the army's mechanized troops, and the speed of advance was fast, so that the British and French troops, whose morale was low due to the impact of the "appeasement policy", had no time to prepare for war; If a forced counterattack is forced, even if the number and equipment are similar, it will not be able to avoid the fate of being annihilated by the tacit understanding of the arms and the mobilization of reasonable German troops;

    The role of the air force, as the most rapid attack force, the air force is a huge threat to the enemy in positional warfare, the Luftwaffe was strong at that time, and the British Royal Air Force insisted on retaining aircraft to preserve its strength for the future defense of the British Isles, which also contributed to the arrogance of the Luftwaffe in the skies over Europe.

    Fighting a war is not just a comparison of numbers.

    At that time, the situation was that the main force of the Anglo-French alliance had already divided and surrounded the German army, and with the combat strength of the Anglo-French army, it was impossible to break through the encirclement of the German army, and it was impossible to immediately organize a strong corps to reinforce it externally.

    The encircled coalition forces are demoralized, the supplies are limited, and the quality is not the opponent of the German army at all, if they do not retreat, they will all surrender to the German army sooner or later, it is better to retreat first when there is still a way to retreat at sea, after all, this is the main force of the British army, if these troops are eliminated, it is estimated that the British army will not be able to fight any land battle in a few years.

    In a practical sense, the Anglo-French forces had already fought with the German army, and they had already been defeated, and if they continued to fight, they would be sent to death, and according to the style of Westerners, all that was left was surrender. A large number of French troops have been surrounded by Dunkirk can not retreat, the British army I guess it was originally with two hearts, as soon as the battle situation is not good, immediately run away, for Britain there is no suspense in the war situation Originally, the Western European continent mainly relied on the French army and the German army to confront each other, the British army was only an auxiliary weight, I didn't think that the French army was so vulnerable, the main force was wiped out in a few weeks, the foundation of the British army was thin, this batch of British troops in Dunkirk or so 300,000 or so is basically the seed of the British Imperial Army, After this group of troops is gone, the British army will definitely have no reserves to replenish, so the only way for the British is to retreat.

    The combat effectiveness of the British and French armies was not very good, the British army was defeated by the Japanese army in Burma and fled, and the French army was called the First Army except for the Napoleonic period when it dominated Europe. Moreover, there is no air superiority, and it is extremely uncomfortable in the face of the German three-dimensional war, the defeat is like a mountain, the people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!

    Although there were a lot of people, the situation at that time was already a defeat... The Germans were much more numerous, and they were mechanized tank units. At that time, Guderian's tank troops swept through France, and if the Anglo-French army could hold it, it would have held it a long time ago, so why not retreat one after another.

    After retreating, there is at least one English Channel that can be defended as a natural hazard. If you don't withdraw, you may be able to fight a few good counterattacks and consume some of the German troops, but in the end, you will inevitably be completely annihilated by the Germans, so that even Britain will not have the strength to defend.
