The+Battle+of+Britain

Outnumbered in planes 3:1,Britain still managed to out manoeuvreGermany to kill 1882 planes to 1017. During this attack, which lasted from 10 July to30 September 1940, conveys, airforce and radar all played an important role.Britain’s radar worked to their advantage as they were able to detect German planes and intercept them before damage occurred. When a German bomber accidentally bombed civilians inLondon, a retaliation was immediately ordered onBerlin, distracting Hitler and causing him to foolishly redirect fire onLondon rather than airfields and radar stations. The mistake was extremely significant as it served as a turning point in the war, it was the first time Hitler was truly defeated. The Battle of Britain was also a setback for Hitler as it resulted in a long, drawn out war rather than an easily won battle for Hitler. British became aUSA ally which gave the allies a close firing point to launch the invasion ofEurope from. AlthoughBritain continued to be bombed by Hitler right up until the last 2 days of the WWII, the RAF did manage to win the battle of the skies and most importantly, this battle gave the allies the confidence and opportunity they needed to succeed in abolishingGermany.
