That was Adolf stamping his foot once in a gesture of triumph. It was then edited by the "Allied media" to show a series of foot stamps, which was then decried as a jig. As in: dancing a jig for joy.
It was a fine jig
T'was. Most people don't realize France had 400,000 casualties before the fall. The Germans just moved too fast. Had the Germans rolled up the BEF at Dunkirk ( by pushing along the beach instead of towards the water) a vstly different outcome would have been likely. The brits would have had to call in their US marker in 1940 instead of late '41.
