Description
The German View of Dunkirk 1940 A fresh perspective on one of the most pivotal moments of World War II, Dünkirchen 1940 reveals the often-overlooked German side of the Dunkirk evacuation. Drawing on previously untapped sources, including German interviews, diaries, and unit reports, Robert Kershaw sheds new light on the events that led to the Allies' miraculous escape. Hitler's forces seemed poised for victory, having swiftly captured Holland and Belgium, but a crucial miscalculation at the final hurdle left them stalled just seven kilometres from the British Expeditionary Force's last hope for escape. This book provides a detailed analysis of the German perspective, exploring the strategic and tactical mistakes that may have ultimately cost Hitler the war. By examining the German view of Dunkirk, Kershaw offers a nuanced and thought-provoking account of a battle that has long been told from a single perspective.
