Why didn't Hitler crush UK forces at Dunkirk?

He was an Anglophile (gross) and wanted Britain on his side vs. the Soviet Union. Most Anglo royals and lords had Nazi sympathies. Only too late did he realize the Anglo will never share the global pie with anyone

>starts dropping bombs on Britain
>denounces Hess as insane and a traitor to be shot on sight, for trying to make peace with Britain

This is how deluded stormfaggots actually are.

He feared the Anglo warrior.

The reasons Hitler gave this “Halt Order” have never been fully agreed on, either by those living through the battle or historians after the fact. On the surface, it seemed like a halfway logical concept. The German troops had been fighting for two weeks straight without a break, something that an old Great War soldier like Hitler knew all too well. They needed time to rest, replace their losses and reorganize their forces, which had taken heavy losses in France. The German armor had outrun their infantry and supplies, having advanced much faster than expected, and were running out of fuel and ammunition. Also, the ground around the Dunkirk area wasn’t ideal for tank operations, full of the marshes and canals that had bogged down German soldiers in the First World War. The pause made sense to Hitler for another reason: Luftwaffe head Herman Goring had assured him that air power could wipe out the British on the beaches, and Hitler was all too happy to give him a chance.

He denounced Hess as insane and a traitor after he realised the plan had failed.

So Goring could have a chance to stroke his ego.

He tried to, the cunning Brits escaped by rounding up a huge fleet of civilian vessels, they even had little fishing boats slipping back and forth.

the forces at dunkirk were in bad shape but still fighting, the german divisions could be defeated

this made some germans to have the stop opinion, while other wanted to keep pushing

hitler listened to one, then changed his mind, it was a small delay, but it was enough

they stopped for 2 days, but remember this isnt like collecting eggs, dunkirk and its perimeter were defended by the french, quite fiercly
