So why did Hitler let the Brits escape?
>>908374
Cause he was not the genious that some people seem to believe.
Did this meme start because nobody can believe that French soldiers defended Dunkirk?

>he doesn't know that the whole point of it is that so many men were saved against the odds, as well as the courage and effort to do so
Just keep spouting your brain rotting memes though.
>>908374
Goering promised the Luftwaffe would be enough, plus Hitler still harboured some delusions that Britain might be open to negotiations despite all his lies.
>>908405
>>908420
It wasn't British troops defending Dunkirk.
>>908420
>save me ebin maymays
>>908396
when will /int/ be stopped?
>>908423
I know there were some left behind fighting alongside the French at Calais, presumably there were plenty left at Dunkirk considering the comparative size of the operation.
>>908374
Because Hitler had bigger fish to fry. The question of Dunkirk is only a question when viewed through small minded anglo-centrism.
Why WOULD a relatively small group of British Divisions, retreating under fire, leaving behind their equipment, receive more attention than the rest of France?
>genuine moment of heroism from both the british army and civilians
>lol le ebin eternal anglo meme
>>908420
What's this webm supposed to convey? The British police caught him alive and he faced due process.
In the USA he would have just been shot and killed by trigger happy blunderous cops, a tragedy of justice.
Hitler didn't want to fight Britain, he wanted to have them as allies. He probably thought that Britain would give up after their defeat, and so didn't pursue the fleeing BEF.

>Brits running away to hide on their island while the French fight off the Nazis for them
>genuine moment of heroism from both the british army and civilians
It's always hilarious to see what fairy tales delusional bongs have to invent in an effort to make their history less embarrassing.
>>909693
>a fleet of tiny civilian ships sets sail under heavy artillery and aircraft fire to rescue trapped British AND French soldiers facing certain death or capture
>not a moment of heroism
Memes are rotting your brain.
>>908423
Fuck off with this meme. British soldiers stayed as well to help. The fact dunkirk happened at all was down to Frances high commands complete incompetence at anything and everything they did. Just as many French soldiers evacuated at Dunkirk as British soldiers did.
He showed civility and honor to the Anglo and was repaid in firebombs
Never trust the eternal Anglo
>>908374
I like how the British newspaper conveniently avoid to point out that frogs were the ones conducing the defense while bongs were evacuating...
>>910016
Its almost like is a British newspaper, focusing on what its British audience cares about, namely what British forces are doing.

You dumb shit yes it was.
>>911284
It was French troops you pathetically brainwashed bong.
>>911226
Guernica wasn't even the same war.
Rotterdam led to immediate capitulation.
Battle of Britain was about air superiority

>On 26 May, Anthony Eden told Gort that he might need to "fight back to the west", and ordered him to prepare plans for the evacuation, but without telling the French or the Belgians. Gort replied: "I must not conceal from you a great part of the BEF and its equipment will inevitably be lost". He had foreseen the order and preliminary plans were already in hand.
wew what a lad
>Just as many French soldiers evacuated at Dunkirk as British soldiers did.
Twice as much british soldiers.
he couldn't gain air superiority.
>>912957
>Wielun 1200 dead
>Rotterdam 814 dead

>Dresden 20-25k dead
>>908374
It wasn't Hitler's decision
>>912976
>The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind.
I'm not defending the Britons, just attacking your retarded /int/posting.
>>910477
Then why not write "Our brave men couragously waited for evacuation on the beach while filthy stinking frogs were delaying the Germans"?
>>913063
Because the French are their allies, so why degrade them? Why mention them at all when your readers want any scrap of information they can get about the BEF?
>>913039
Wasn't even apologetic mate, just giving numers for that meme pic, compare Dresden with Warsaw.
Going /int/ would bring Hamburg into play with 34k dead and calling out allied war crimes.
Could've gone full /pol/ too and post the tenfold exaggerated numbers the nazis themselves gave.
The reaped what they sowed. That's completely true.
>>913039
there is a difference between bombing strategical targets and terrorbombing by trageting the civil population
>>913109
Why do you keep deluding yourself into believing Brits defended the place too?
>Although Churchill had promised the French that the British would cover their escape, on the ground it was the French who held the line while the last remaining British were evacuated. Enduring concentrated German artillery fire and Luftwaffe strafing and bombs, the French stood their ground. On 2 June (the day the last of the British units embarked onto the ships),[Notes 2] the French began to fall back slowly, and by 3 June the Germans were about two miles (3 km) from Dunkirk.
>>913118
Sorry, confused you for another le edurnal anglo /int/ blow-in memester turning discussion of history into an absurd pissing contest
>>908374
Hitler wasn't the bloodthirsty villain he's made out to be. That was a propaganda spin job by the Jews and Russia.
>>913121
Except the Nazis also terrorbombed the civilian populations. They just didn't do so with as much tonnage.
>>913340
Pretty sure he's saying that Dresden, as an important industrial centre, was a legit target, as opposed to lol Guernica, Warsaw, etc
>>913340
Hitler stated he only started targetting civilians 3 months after allied bombers did it. He talked about British targets then.
>>913289
dude, he literally planed to let 20 millions slavs die of hunger.
That is pretty evil in my book
>>913348
Oh come on, I'm not one who throws moral blame around; I usually only deal in efficacy, but the British terrorbombed civilian populations. It was the core of their air strategy as laid out by Trenchard and implemented by Harris. Go look up "Dehousing".
>>913355
Hitler stated a lot of things. Some of them were even true. Rotterdam in particular was a civilian terror bombing operation, and that happened before the British were lobbing shit.
>>913371
>civilian terror bombing operation, and that happened before the British
yup, same for Polish targets. as said
>He talked about British targets then.
>>908374
For peace.
>>908374
Because he still had a modicum of hope left for preventing a total war.
>>912957
>Wielun
Look at the enlargened picture. It's literally nothing. Couple burned houses.
>>913122
Because I've read actual unit histories and first hand accounts of British soldiers who were actually there, all of which describe a fighting retreat, instead of relying on hastily wikipediaed summaries.
Unless you are honestly suggesting that at no point did any of the tens of thousands of BEF men left behind fire a single shot to defend themselves?
>>913949
>all of which describe a fighting retreat
Are you dense?
That was the retreat to Dunkirk
Then bongs waited there to be evacuated and frogs went to slow the krauts
>>913904
what if it was your home
>>913904
>It's literally nothing.
1,300 people of a town of like 15,000 were killed in the bombardment. That's hardly "nothing."
