Wie knapp stand Hitler wirklich vor dem Sieg im Zweiten Weltkrieg?

June 4, 1940. 338,000 British and French soldiers crowd onto ships at Dunkirk. Behind them, burning wrecks. Ahead of them, an uncertain route across the English Channel. The German army is only about 50 kilometers away. Hitler's tanks have ripped France apart in three weeks. The Wehrmacht controls the Benelux countries and northern France. Paris will fall in ten days. Great Britain expects an invasion. Its army has left almost all its heavy weapons on the French beaches. Fighter Command has fewer than 700 fighters. The Kriegsmarine remains a factor, but is severely weakened after Norway. In Berlin, victory seems within reach. In London, defeat feels possible.
