It should be called “Act of Mercy” cause Hitler basically let them go. I bet that’s not covered in the movie. Btw I hear it sucked really bad and is just mindless action woth no character development. Better off to watch Mrs Miniver (1942) which has a great Dunkirk scene in it.
Goering had Hitler hold back Guderian’s tanks so he could have his air force annihilate the beach head. Didn’t work. More like an “Act of Stupidity” on the part of Hitler. Yeah, and no wimmins there either passing out pancakes to the troops.
More like “Act Of Stupidity’’. Hitler and the German General Staff were just to slow to realize how fast the panzers had advanced. But when the British were trapped on the beaches some generals wanted to finish them off but Hitler did have a bit of a soft spot for England in only that he felt the two peoples had the same blood and the same world view in many ways and he felt he might be able to get them to ‘’listen to reason’’ and capitulate. In the end he let Fatso Goering talk him into believing the Luftwaffe could finish them off. As always the Fat Man was talking out his ass. Thank goodness for history’s sake.

Wrong - if Hitler wanted to left BEF go then why did not call off Luftwaffe
