Did Hitler spare the British at Dunkirk?

My comment section is filled with people that state that Hitler wanted to spare the British and thus let the British Expeditionary Force escape at Dunkirk, since he wanted peace with the British Empire. The note a lot of points. Yet, the point mostly at various speeches and texts, but at the same time completely ignore the military operations and their results, namely number of sorties, units and especially losses. So, let's separate the myths from the facts. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « » DISCLAIMER « As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Okay, now we know, what was not the cause of the halt order. But... why was the hat order given? I am no expert, but how was the logistical situation. I once read that a combined arms attack has a reach of around 400km. could it be, that the logistics were on the last legs? Normally there is a sensible reason for such Halt orders....

Just letting you know, YouTube randomly deleted Jeff Quitney's channel. It was nothing but historical archival type footage. No warnings or strikes. Won't talk to him. Had plenty of subscribers. Over 5000 videos of usually great quality.

basically Hitler and some of the Generals got "cold feet" due to the wide open flanks and the counter-attack at Arras. Others note (Frieser) that it was Hitler that wanted to show the Generals who is the "boss".
