Battle of Britain - Spitfires Defend British Warships

A fictional Battle of Britain engagement during the Summer of 1940. The game used for this film was Wings of Prey PC. It was quite a challenge and a lot of fun to make.

This film was created out of respect to the courageous men who defended the skies of England and prevented Nazi expansion.

This American salutes you!!

@NGC773 Aber ich sprech Deutch. And no I'm not German either or British but people of my nation fought on both sides so I have no particular view about who was right or wrong. I had noticed that it was a global conflict but thanks for stating the obvious. None of that changes the fact that the Polish aircrews protected London and the seat of government at the most crucial time of the war. Simply acknowledging this fact and paying respect to them does no harm to anyone.

@CompactJam Britain doesnt owe anyone a debt. It was a world war, a combined effort from dozens of countries. If the UK fell then Hitler would have most certainly kept Europe and you would be speaking German

@NGC773 I'm afraid they did and air power experts agree on this. The Polish squadrons were deployed at the very instant when British air superiority was failing over their own skies and about to break. It was the pivotal nature of this moment in the air war that allowed the British and commonwealth air forces to recover and prevent an invasion by land. Just as the South Africans, Australians and Indians turned the war in the north African desert. Britain and particularly London owes them a debt.

@Ringh0rn The war effort was a world effort. If the UK was lost then the Nazis would not have lost.

@NGC773 I was joking, you would have managed even without foreigners :)

@Ringh0rn Only 145 Polish pilots fought in the Battle of Britain compared with over 2000 British pilots and hundreds from other countries. Much respect to those Polish pilots but im the Poles didnt single handedly win the Battle of Britain

[Ringh0rn]

Poles won this battle for you

Great vid, very well done. Yes, there were more Hurricanes than Spits at the Battle of Britain, but the image of the Spit has gone down in history; great design! The British were also usually outnumbered by 3 or 4 to one but thanks to the pilots and new radar, we won. My German buddy Kluas is eternally grateful, because thanks to that part of history, he grew up with democrasy...and rock music!! :) Don't you love it? :)

Jonathan9163 - the speeches were honest (certainly compared with Hitler's) which would have been appreciated by the British of the period & also very stirring.The latter was vital given the enemy was less than 20 miles away.We know Churchill was sentimental, racist, anti-female suffrage etc etc but the speeches boosted the battered civilian population. Can tweets & blogs have the same effect?Look them up - they're worth it:)
