Lost Evidence: " The Battle of Britain " 5 of 5

Excellent doc on " The Battle of Britain."
Documentary explains how everything came together to win the battle. Try to filter out the Frodo Baggins looking, "expert", annoying guy (more)

@Xgirlfriend13 Sorry but you are ignoring the Polish (145 pilots) not to mention Czechs (88). Belgians (29), French (13) and Irish (10). Add to that the Commonwealth pilots - New Zealand (135). Canada (112). Australia (32). South Africa (25), plus Jamaica, Ceylon, Rhodesia and the US. Those brave young men who went up against Hitler in the Battle of Britain were a multi national force and not all from Commonwealth nations.

Some 30,000 American airmen died operating out of the UK. Their country was never under threat and their country was in economic depression. It is easy to be wise in hindsite about facism and there were culural ties between Germany and America as well. But they came in the end and thank god they did.

See if I was hermann goering , I would have day/night bomb the airfields, radar stations, and manufactoring plants/munitions factories instead of bombing London because its doesnt make sense to try and break the will of the people, you have to break the ability to fight back. But thank god for those blunders by the nazi luftwaffe command or else we would all be chained to the swastika.

Well, the Battle of Britan was won quite thin, and the guys in this "historical" program (where airplanes viz shows the battle like arcade game ;) didn't mentioned, that at this time RAF consisted of many pilots from other nations, which clashed already with hitler. Especially well trained Polish, Czechoslovak pilots. Best of RAF was 303 division (Polish, with one Czech ace). Pilots were crucial for this battle, untrained so well kids died relatively fast in the air.

Dang!!!!!!!!!!! You Brits are one tough motherfuckers......You are pounded and pounded, day in, and day out--------and you're still walking.......

Just like the British SAS "Who dares wins".

Don't forget the women, the women of the Air Transport Auxiliary who kept delivering those planes, along with the men of the ATA...frequently under combat conditions without ammo or radio.....

OK, HardWarUK.

@SiliconBong Same to you! And of course, I made a mistake. New Zealanders would probably be speaking Japanese today, not German, if the UK fighters had lost the Battle of Britain. As I am sure the world would have been carved up by the two axis powers.
