The Blitz
This was really a terrible time3 for Britain to be the way it was. Britain was attacked by these several air raids by Germany and it was really a night war but it was called the lightning war
The blitz was a strategic way to cripple the war economy and hope they would give up but they never did
It lasted for a little more than a year from September 7th 1940 to around may 21st 1941.
It was just hell for Britain at much of their cities were destroyed and for about 267 days London got bombed 71 times. Cites like Birmingham, Plymouth, and Liverpool each got bombe4d multiple times and killed tens of thousands of people.
1940 was probably the roughest year for Britain as this group of German pilots called the Luftwaffe raided Britain killing around 50,000 people. Thousands of houses were leveled and sea ports were a thing of the past as they were destroyed killing around 4,000 people. Britain expected it though but I mean Britain did accomplish killing a lot of people but they failed their task.

Battle of Britain
This whole battle was in the skies. It was literally called the air battle of Britain
See it was kind of between the royal air force RAF and the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe tried all it could do by attacking the RAF’s bases and try to stop them. They really didn’t.
It started in June of 1940 but the actual dates were July 10th through October 31st 1940.
And as this was going on it was overlapping the blitz but the blitz was more of a night attack and it was way longer.
This was a really early battle so it was the first one to be fought with air forces. Even though this was a pretty rough fought battle Germany actually wanted a peace agreement before all of this started.
Britain really did save their selves from probably getting demolished and making Hitler postpone what would’ve been project sea lion, another big raid. But they still bombed Britain anyway. Ha
But all in all Germany lost because they failed to destroy the British defense and they pretty much surrendered themselves. “This was the real defeat of Germany” as stated by Steven Bungay. And the name of this was actually in a speech given by Winston Churchill a Nazi broadcaster.
