  2. Hitler had repeatedly ordered the German generals to halt their advance into France, and they ignored him. Hitler, thinking back to prior conflict, was afraid the rapidly advancing forces would be cutoff and surrounded. He didn't think this Blitzkrieg was going to work so well, was unsure, lacked confidence in the successes they were seeing, as no one had ever seen it done like this before. Hitler was constantly fearing surprise counter attacks on the flanks of the advancing German armor that were never going to happen. He didn't understand how effectively the German panzers had broken through the defending forces, or how slow their vehicles and communications and command and control was. Finally at Dunkirk the generals listened and obeyed, why, I don't know. They came so far ignoring orders, why stop when they were so close? Probably because they too thought the outcome was now inevitable. But, now we can criticize and speculate in hindsight....
