... I wager because is a favourite focus of the lowlifes who were for GROFAZ (1935-1945), before they were against GROFAZ (post 1945) like "120 wristwatches" Manstein*,** and Heinz "Lutz, Ostwalt?!? Never heard of!" Guderian.ChrisDR68 wrote:Why this obsession with the Dunkirk evacuation?
Conveniently overlooking some glaring issues, namely Sponneck stuck in Holland, Rommel stymmied at Lille (foreshadowing both Dunkirk and Tobruq), and the lack of readiness and apropriatedness of the panzers for the work ahead (marshland-cum-built up area) these latter-day Munchausens make this into some epic blunder. In fact, the outcome was about as good as Wehrmacht could hope for: Belgian force surrender, and removal of anglo-french forces from the battle at hand at minimal (except for LW's losses) cost for Wehrmacht.
