Herman Goering surveyed the littered beach with his deputy general Gerhard Miuch. Miuch said there's no time to waste an invasion of Great Britain must began without delay. His plan is daring but simple, make a quick airborne attack on Britain. Paratroops and gliders will drop off on the south eastern cost of England and seize the key air fields so that the German fighter can land and re-fuel. A shuttle of smaller transports will bring five division of soldiers that will fan out to the country side and head for London to seized the government. Goering and Miuch take the plan to Hitler but Hitler rejected it, some says's out of respect for the British. Because Hitler's main ideas was in this time to divide Europe among great Britain and Germany. So he would not do too much harm to the British, because Hitler thinks that the British is so similar to the Germans both are high classes. But whatever the true reason, Hitler drag his heel in fighting England and looses his golden chance. Could Germany taken England ? the answer is simply yes. If the German just roars ahead then British people cannot defend themselves.Hitler address the Reichstag and offer a peace offering to the British, He sees no reason that the war should go on he said, his griaved for the sacrifices the it claims. But prime minister Winston Churchill answered that the British will fight on, until all European countries that are conquered are freed.
Privately Churchill tells Roosevelt that if Britain goes down, Hitler have a good chance in conquering the world. Dismay of Churchill's respond Hitler reluctantly ordered a massive cross channel invasion of England the operation is called Sea Lion. The general staff said that it could take place only if the British air force will be destroyed by the Luftwaffe (Germany air force). Only then that the invasion barges can be protected from the British navy. The army and navy will sits and wait while the air force fight it out. It is called the battle of Britain.
After two months of battle both sides are nearly exhaustion. The battle is the toughest battle of the war, it was a supportive fight where in the young people of two nations being so the same in making, same in education, they even look alike. engaged in a very fair but extremely tough fight. It was every desperately hard for the pilots. They even went to sleep even you're talking to them. It comes to a point, that even the sound of the telephone which is a direct line from the high command is depressing to them because they need to take off. And even they are half asleep they need to be airborne, and when they are in the sky they will see a massive dots (German airplanes) in the horizon.
When the Luftwaffe nearly destroying the royal air force, the necessary prelude for the massive cross channel invasion of England. Hitler issued another halt order, the Luftwaffe will abandon in destroying the RAF and start hitting cities. The RAF had given a providential chance to recover, it was Hitler's another major mistake. Why did Hitler make it? During that period the British made a few raids in Berlin and a couple of other cities, which made Hitler so infuriated, that he ordered a retaliatory attack on British cities, L particularly London. With that he increases heavy losses of the Luftwaffe. If Germany had persisted there sensible strategy they might certainly won. The British did not win the battle of Britain, only the German lost it. And that was Hitler's first major defeat.
