WORLD WAR TWO – Battle of Britain continuation
Multiple waves of bombers designed to knock out fighter commands of the British allies. so that the Germans Luftwaffe could establish their superiority over the channel.
A sort while after the bombers left an order was asked to cease attack
That reports come through a bad weathers. Some people got the order to cancel and turn back. Some people got the order cancelled too late and some people never got it at all.
At about two o’clock in the afternoon., The German bombers arrive at the British coast,
the response from British allie fighters is Swift, deadly and was a total shock to the incoming Luftwaffe.
This wasn’t the easy victory they were promised promised. 47 German planes are shot down and 86 pilots missing or capturing
the losses on Eagle day amounted to something that was rather interesting.
Hitler was not around at this time. He was on vacation. It was very irresponsible of him and it completely reveals his total inability to understand his enemy. The Germans are also unaware that the British have developed sophisticated advanced warnings known as the Dowdy system.
Dowdy is the commander in chief of Fighter Command, and is He who has overseen the development of this fully coordinated air defense system.
The world has just not seen anything like this before.
21 360 foot radar masks on the southern and eastern coast of Britain.
Now, Britain can detect aircraft up to 120 miles away.
Once German planes are within sight to Britain 30,000 volunteers. There were man observing, day and night tracking and reporting enemy radar.
Radar can give you warning of a formation but it can’t give you any sense of height or size. But this problem is handled by the observer corps who have interlocking posts all around the coast of Britain and inland.
-They had a pair of binoculars, and this piece of equipment called a pantograph, which looks a bit like a giant sextant. That would give them rough bearing distance and height for the formations they were looking at.
In fact, reports of enemy rays to arrive at Fighter Command headquarters in under 40 seconds.
Eagle day progresses. Some German bombers inevitably get through this dependency. German flight bomber kept raiding Britain but again and again, they were stopped even before they got close.
The British fighter planes are being built faster than ever. Aircraft production has been revamped is now working around the clock has been streamlined.
In July 1940 mystery of aircraft production produces 496 brand new Spitfires and hurricanes, whereas the Luftwaffe only produced 240 brand new 109
The public wanted to give money for the war, and not just in Britain and all around the Commonwealth all around the world, even individuals wanted to donate to create more of these bombing objects.
Even Valuable trained men were saved and ready to fight again. But the crews of goings planes were lost to him forever.
German planes were investigated and studied by Britain allies. And German pilots that were captured were interrogated.
This interrogations helps the British allies come through an information. A phrase -KANUKABINE.
They learned that KANUKABINE is a radio communication system that will enable German bomber pilots to navigate in the dark.I It’s an ominous development. The Germans are planning to bomb Britain at night.
If the Germans start bombing at night, British cities and industry will be practically defenseless.
extremely well protected.
on the 15th they launched a maximum effort. It was pretty obvious that the South of England was strongly defended but it wasn’t at all clear that the North would be the main raid when in over Yorkshire.
Over 2000 luftwaffe facilities(German bomber plane) are launched across Britain.
This time, 75 German planes are shot out of the sky.
German calls this day – The black Thursday, Churchill, one of the greatest days in history.
