Hitler didn&#8217;t want and hadn&#8217;t planned for war with Britain and so allowed the bulk of its army to escape.<\/h5>\n<h5>Had things gone according to his plan he would have then used this as a bargaining chip to show Britain his good intentions.<\/h5>\n<h5>A few weeks before the Dunkirk evacuation Hitler had sent his trusted deputy <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rudolf_Hess#Flight_to_Scotland\">Rudolf Hess with peace proposals<\/a><\/span> to Britain.

Which only adds weight to claims that Hitler stopped the German Army&#8217;s advance on Dunkirk in one last desperate bid to make peace with Britain.
