I realise the link doesn’t back up my side. Even if Irving is correct – Hitler still gave the Brits a chance (on purpose) in my opinion. Whether they used it to dig in or evacuate I don’t see as highly important.

The above Irving link proves that AH did not, in advance, say to let the British go. Irving says his research indicated that Hitler was surprised the Brits did not fight it out on beaches. Irving says clearly on your provided link Paul, that AH did not even know of the Allied escape, until AFTER the fact.

Of course friends can often disagree.

I think the French army not being destroyed played a part in Hitlers thinking re: Dunkirk. I still think the evidence that J.T gives from Von Kliest and Runstedt is convincing. I believe Hitler did let them go – even if some Luftwaffe pilots and wehrmacht Soldiers fired pot shots.

With Japan I think it’s relevant that they were British allies in WW1. At Versailles they walked out because they were not granted their ‘Racial Equality Proposal’, which would have threatened Australia’s White Immigration policy.

I suppose the advantage of having a Naval agreement with them (prior to WW2) was not having a powerful maritime enemy in the Far East. Which is what J.T says.

I was surprised he never brought up the Anglo German naval agreement – perhaps he thought it too obvious?

I too love the truth of history. Sorry, but can’t buy the view that British troops were “allowed” to evacuate Dunkirk . Plenty of Youtubes out there, showing NS troops shooting away. If it were not for the little folks of the British Motherland, heading out with their boats, to rescue Britannia’s sons, the troops nearly trapped, would have been captured. 2nd disagreement on todays reading by Voice of Albion: why in hell, and what good would a “treaty” between Japan and Britain do, in the early part of the 20th century?
None of the above takes away from my genuine friendship with those of German stock today, February, 2014. And indeed, John Tyndall and I were friends. Friends can often disagree ?
