It is true that the Allied high command proved unable in the days following to use the corps de bataille to restore the Allied front. But it took the Wehrmacht another two weeks of fighting to encircle and capture part of First Army, allowing the rest and the bulk of the BEF to escape to Dunkirk\" Frieser also regards the battle as a French victory at the tactical level.|group=\"nb\"
