Was Operation Overload a success

Answer 1

Yes, because the evacuation from Dunkirk saved 338,226 soldiers [British & French]. Although a massive amount of equipment was lost, Dunkirk was probably Hitler's greatest mistake next to attacking Russia because if he had pressed home his attack he would have as good as wiped-out the army and destroyed morale. The saving of so many soldiers, against all the odds, gave a massive boost to morale in Britain - a boost that was never to be lowered, even during the blitz. Factually, Hitler snached defeat from the jaws of victory because it would have been imposible for Britain to replace so many men - the majority of whom were battle hardened. Let's be clear about this: Dunkirk was a defeat for the British & French, and wars are not won by defeat. But Churchill made much of the 'Miracle' of Dunkirk and indeed it seemed that it was a momentous action. Hitler was cautious about overstretchng the power of his panzer forces & knew that he still needed to defeat France as a whole. Nonetheless Operation Dynamo is one of the greatest escapes in History, a great credit to the armada of little ships that brought the troops home in great numbers against the odds.
