The Battle Of Britain

In June 1940, Nazi Germany overran France and forced the British army to evacuate at Dunkirk. Severely lacking in military equipment, Britain and her empire now stood alone against Adolf Hitler’s forces. Nevertheless, Winston Churchill, Britain’s new prime minister, refused to come to peace terms, forcing Hitler to plan an invasion – codenamed Operation Sea Lion. To stand any chance of crossing the English Channel, Germany needed to achieve mastery of the skies above Southern England during that summer. The Battle of Britain – the first major battle to be decided entirely by air power – began.
