---** Description **---
The order on 24th of May to halt the German Panzer Divisions just short of Dunkirk has been widely debated ever since. Karl-Heinz Frieser in his book Blitzkrieg Legend gives a detailed overview on the Battle of France and also on the so called "halt order" (Halte-Befehl). In this video I present a short summary of Friesers view.
See notes on Accuracy & “Methodology” (bottom) for more detailed information.
