Question

What tactics did germany use in france, forcing a desperate british withdrawal at dunkirk?

Answer 1

The Blitzkrieg. This was Utilized by Invading Belgium and Sending Tanks through the Argonne Forest. The encirclement of the Maginot was also an important Tactic/Decision which led to the Surrender of the Majority of the French Army and forced the British to retreat to Dunkirk and Evacuate over the Channel.

Answer 2

The tactic that was used by Germany in France at the beginning of the Second World War, which forced England withdrawal in Dunkirk is called the Blitzkrieg.

Blitzkrieg is a German expression that can be translated as the Lightning War. It is a military technique that involves sending an entire army (men, planes, and tanks) to the same place, to win the war quickly. This attack must be a surprise for the enemy to not have time to prepare for it.

Further explanation

The German army used the Blitzkrieg in France between May 10 and June 22, 1940. In just one month, they managed to defeat the French and British armies who did not expect this attack at all. It was a big defeat for the allies and forced to retreat. The British army fled to Dunkirk in the North of France to escape the German army. But, they were separated from the majority of the French army in the South. The few companies of French soldiers there managed to block the Germans for more than two weeks for the British army to be evacuated by boat to England.

Because of the Blitzkrieg, Adolf Hitler from Germany succeeded to take control of the French territory and occupied this country for four years until the Normandy landing on June 6, 1944.
