TL/DR:
WI: BEF is destroyed & Battle of Britain is limited/butterflied?
Scenario:
Let's say Hitler's/Kleist's halt order at Dunkirk is ignored by various Panzer officers, leading to the complete encirclement, capture & annihilation of the BEF by May 26, 1940.
Hitler, always an admirer of the British, and seeking to placate to its war cabinet by not causing further damage to its now utterly destroyed armed forces, finds a continuace of a full cross-channel campaign to be no-longer necesary.
Results:
No/Very limited Battle of Britain, but no BEF.
And at least 1,900 extra fighter/bomber planes remain serviceable for the Luftwaffe in other campaign theatres.
How do all three effect the war going forward?
