Comments on: How Hitler Could Have Won https://www.isegoria.net/2011/06/how-hitler-could-have-won/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Sat, 06 Jun 2026 05:13:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Isegoria https://www.isegoria.net/2011/06/how-hitler-could-have-won/comment-page-1/#comment-263761 Isegoria Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:15:25 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=25293#comment-263761 After a little reading, it appears to me that, yes, Dunkirk was surrounded by marshy terrain, which was bad for tanks, and, yes, the poor weather kept the Luftwaffe grounded — but Hitler also ordered a halt to consolidate their gains. So, it sounds like conditions were bad for an attack, but the rewards could have been enormous if nothing went too terribly wrong. In retrospect, Hitler appears too cautious.

Without tanks could the Germans have stopped the British at Dunkirk?

Why so much dispute over apparently elementary facts after so many years?
