No Miracle of Dunkirk?

It may have been a better idea to go full force for the BEF. After all, "saving" the panzer for later in France would be a logical thing as France was not defeated and there were serious divisions in the South, not having been committed as yet.

That said, Wasn't France "beaten" enough anyway? would it have been a better choise to go for BEF?

Hindsight is of course wonderful, and maybe it was too daring a move at that time?

France was not beaten nor did Germany believe that it was beaten during the events at Dunkirk.

Incidentally, at one point or another during this campaign half of Germany's tanks were suffering various breakdowns.

As for panzers at Dunkirk, given the German units which were involved on the spot I would have to wonder where one or more panzer divisions would go and which other German divisions would have to be pulled off the front to make enough room.
