Dunkirk (AO)

**Dunkirk** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Are you certain of that? This is highly unusual.

*The person on the other end of the line is speaking.*

But what of the RAF?

*The person on the other end of the line is speaking angrily.*

But what..

*The person on the other end of the line is shouting.*

Yes, sir. Of course, sir.

*Hauptmann Wagner hangs up the telephone and takes a moment to compose himself before addressing you.*

The orders have been confirmed, mein Herr. High Command is forbidding us from attacking Dunkirk with ground forces.

Generalfeldmarschall Göring is convinced we can halt the British evacuation with aircraft alone. But I think he's just trying to put on a show for High Command.

Since you volunteered for this assignment, the other Luftwaffe Commanders are more than happy to give us the opportunity, and full responsibility, to get the job done.

**Primary Objective: None**

**Bonus Objective: Sink 5 Naval Transports.**

**Bonus Objective: Sink 5 Patrol Boats.**

**Bonus Objective: Destroy 10 Air Defense Units.**

**Bonus Objective: Destroy 9 Trucks.**

We should focus on destroying all transportation assets, both ground and naval, to disrupt the evacuation. Requisitioning extra aircraft for this mission is highly recommended.

The British will be pointing every gun they have at the sky, so expect many air defense units to challenge our bombers.

And I would definitely watch out for British interceptors launching from across the English Channel.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

**Historically, the evacuation of Dunkirk, known as Operation Dynamo, was a success for the Allies. More than 300,000 troops trapped in the Dunkirk pocket were able to escape the German encirclement and find their way to Britain.**

**Despite the failure of the Luftwaffe to stop the evacuation, enormous stockpiles of weapons and equipment had to be abandoned by the fleeing soldiers.**

**But while the drama on the breaches of Dunkirk was playing out, German ground forces were busy consolidating their strength and already preparing for their next move...**

## Messages

* Mein General, I have another officer to bring to your attention. Heinz has been with us since the French Saar Offensive where he earned an Iron Cross, and despite his insubordinate inclinations, I have been convinced that he has some very real potential as a fighter pilot and commander.

As with any potentially troublesome candidate, it will take quite a bit of your influence to push his promotion through. If you ask me, I think any political price is worth the potential reward, but the decision is yours.
