Interesting facts about the Battle of Britain.
The Luftwaffe stopped bombing British Radar towers after they began to believe they were useless. This allowed Britain to see the Luftwaffe moving in.
Despite the fact that many trained British fighter pilots had been killed, the Royal Air Force planes and fighters still proved to be stronger than the Luftwaffe.
Many British cities were bombed in night raids. This killed many, including civilians.
Because the Luftwaffe bombed Britain at night, people were forced to stay in underground bunkers so they would be protected from the bombs.
