It was the fall of 1940. Hitler's forces had over-run much of Europe. Britain was the final prize he wanted and he set his sites on the island nation. Up until this time the German army appeared to be unstoppable.
Hitler laughed the air assault on Britain in July of 1940, but the English had a secret weapon, the Dowding System. This allowed the Brits to deploy their air force in different areas of the country, back by radar. This provided enough warning for the Royal Air Force to become airborne and engage the Luftwaffe effectively.
On September 7th, London became the target of the bombing campaigns. By September 15, 1940, the British Royal Air Force got the upper hand. Though the battle would continue into October, on this day it became clear to German high command that taking Britain would require more resources and time. They eventually withdrew. Hitler's forces never did take Britain. Within 14-months the United States would also enter the war.
A memorial day for the victims of the Battle of Britain, civilian and military, is observed each year.
