The World at War - Part III - The Battle of Britain (Myth20c - Ep296)

After jointly declaring war on Germany in September, 1939 and with France capitulating in June, 1940, Great Britain stood alone in its quest to subdue Nazi Germany and prevent its emerging continental empire from eclipsing Britain’s global one. Winston Churchill in particular proved decisive in refusing peace offers from Adolf Hitler, and despite protests from his cabinet, gambled the British Empire on maintaining their vital military and supply lines with the United States while under aerial bombardment during the ‘Blitz’ and losing millions of tons of shipping to the Kriegsmarine. The World at War series highlights the losses the British suffered from German bombers, but by the end of the war the Royal Air Force managed to incinerate over 480,000 German citizens in night time raids, approximately 10 times the amount the Luftwaffe killed over the British Isles. Tonight we are again joined by Thomas777 to interpret the strategies and tactics employed during the Battle of Britain, and how it was a mere prelude to the coming struggle in the East.
