@NobleKorhedron About 200 out of 700 operational fighters on any day were Spitfires. The Hurricane was a match for the Me109, in this, a defensive role. Thus showing how it was inferior overall; 1:1 kill ratio against Me109s, when many of the best Spit squadrons could get up to 4:1

SUBTITLES YOU MGM BASTARDS!!!!! Thanks for the translations, from watching a lot of films over the period, Im starting to at least understand German, though I couldnt speak a lick of it.

Hmmm, 650 fighters - but how many of these were Spits? T.B.H, I've heard the Hurricanes weren't much of a match for the Me. 109 unless it was in the hands of an experienced pilot.

As for the German Naval code (codenamed Shark by the British), that was far more difficult as the encoding machine was based on 5 rotors, which made the mathematical side of cracking it a totally different proposition to Engima and, as correctly stated, it took until 1943 and the UK came so close to being under siege by the Kriegsmarine as a result, that almost the whole intellectual staff at Bletchley Park were devoted to cracking it.
@vxl788 3:19 These antennas, are these the radar stations?
3:23 Yes, England's great secret weapon.
3:25 Which we snatched at Dunkirk!
3:30 Our Stukas (Junkers JU-87) will deal with them.
3:33 Excuse me, Herr General, but why? If they over there know we're coming, the better! That's just what we want!
3:41 The pilots are of good cheer, Herr General.
3:43 I got eyes in my head, Osterkamp.
3:46 I just wanted to adumbrate, Herr General, we shouldn't wait too long.

Here some translations for those who don't understand any German. As already mentioned for Part 2, "XYZ, stillgestanden!" always means "XYZ, attention!"
2:41 Please, gentlemen, the Chief of Staff has just arrived!
2:56 Hey my dear Föehn, everything alright?
2:58 Thank you, Herr General.
2:58 And Falke?
2:59 Thank you, Herr General. May I introduce, sir, my brother Hans.
3:03 Probably another flying ace, hm?
3:05 If I just could try it soon, Herr General!
3:09 This... we... borrowed it...
