The failure of the "Eagle Day" made the showy Marshal Goering lose face.

He decided to launch a larger offensive and wipe out all the RAF planes.

However, the issue of the endurance of escort fighters has once again become a stumbling block.

If it is not solved, then a new round of attacks will still be a copy of "Eagle Day".

However, Goering had no other cards at hand, and he had to use tactics to make up for the lack of weapons.

After research, the Luftwaffe command decided to storm southern Britain and contain all the fighters of the British Air Force.

In this way, bomber formations without escort forces could launch an attack from the north and blow up strategic targets in the north-east of Britain.

The plan was excellent, and if it could be implemented, Britain would suffer a great loss.

Now the Luftwaffe just needed a good weather.

The failure of Operation Eagle Day was largely due to the disruption of the bad weather.

Cloudy skies and extremely poor visibility caused a large number of fighters to be unable to take off.

The bombers, who lost their protection, were slaughtered by the British.

But the Germans, who were sharpening their knives, could not have imagined that the radio code they used had been cracked, and now a net awaited them.

On August 15th, the weather in the English Channel suddenly improved, and after the low clouds cleared, the sun appeared in the blue sky after a long absence.

However, the Luftwaffe command did not anticipate this outcome, and the commanders of the air corps were recalled by Goering to Germany for a meeting.

On duty at the front command was the chief of staff of the 2nd Luftwaffe, Colonel Deichmann.

After discovering the change in the weather, he decisively gave the order to attack.

The Luftwaffe poured out of the nest, committing 975 fighters and 622 bombers, launching four air raids in succession.

The targets were five airfields of the British Air Force in the south, as well as four aircraft factories.

When the mighty group of planes was in formation in the air, all the German pilots were convinced that the "John Bulls" would never be able to resist their own attack.

Unfortunately, this wishful thinking was quickly shattered.

The British had long been on standby, and the planes of both sides soon became entangled.

Just when the fighting in the south was inseparable, the Luftwaffe's 5th Air Force also took off from Denmark and Norway.

Due to range constraints, the fleet consisted of 34 BF-110 and 63 HE-111 and 50 JU-88s.

Now that the British's attention is focused on the south, give them a surprise in the north.

Who knows, the fleet has just flown to the northeast of Britain, and 84 fighters have already pounced on it.

Before the escorting BF-110 could react, it was beaten to the ground.

The bombers scattered and fled until they returned to base to find that seven BF-110s, 16 HE-111s and six JU-88s had been shot down.

Even those who escaped by luck were scarred, and many of them were never worth repairing.

After this battle, the Fifth Air Force was no longer able to participate in the follow-up operations.

When the fighting in the north came to an end, the fighting in the south was also coming to an end.

Although dozens of planes were shot down, the set goals of the Germans were achieved.

Two of the five airfields were badly damaged, and four aircraft factories were also damaged to varying degrees.

In the days that followed, the Luftwaffe launched another attack, large and small.

Although the British Royal Air Force fought to the death, the Germans held the initiative to the death.

It was not until 19 August that the operation was suspended because of the bad weather again.

In the course of more than two months, the Luftwaffe shot down 367 aircraft, which can be described as a huge cost.

But they also caused considerable damage to 12 airports and seven aircraft factories in the UK.

Goering again convened a meeting of the chiefs of staff of the Air Force to summarize the situation of the war during this period.

The Luftwaffe concluded that the selection of offensive targets was not concentrated enough, which led to the dispersion of forces, which reduced the effectiveness of air strikes.

To this end, Goering shifted his focus and targeted the base of the 11th Fighter Group, the main force of the RAF, and the aircraft factories that produced day and night.

On the night of August 23, the weather improved again.

Goering slapped his thigh in excitement when he learned that the sky over Britain was clear, and he knew it was a great opportunity.

Although the darkness of the night made bombing more difficult, it also reduced the risk of being intercepted by fighter jets.

At Goering's order, hundreds of planes once again crossed the English Channel.

But night bombing is, after all, a technical job, and not everyone can play it.

Sure enough, a squadron of bombers got lost and dropped all the bombs that had been dropped on aircraft factories and oil depots outside London into the city of London, killing eight civilians.

Britain is, after all, an old imperialist country, how could it be possible to swallow this breath.

Churchill did not hesitate to give the order for the British Air Force bomber unit to carry out a retaliatory bombing of the German capital Berlin.

On 25, 28 and 29 August, the British air force carried out a series of bombings.

Although the bombing did not cause much damage to Berlin, it annoyed Hitler, who clamed for the complete destruction of London.

By this time, Field Marshal Goering had already won the battle, and he sent more than 1,000 planes a day to bomb and night raids on Britain.

RAF losses skyrocketed, with 295 aircraft shot down and 171 heavily damaged over the course of two weeks.

During the same period, only 269 new aircraft were produced plus those repaired.

Experienced pilots suffered heavy losses, and the "rookies" who came up to replenish them were no match for German pilots.

In addition to these losses, the main facilities were seriously damaged, and 6 of the 7 command centers that commanded the operations of the Air Force were destroyed. Five important airfields in the south have now all been destroyed.

The RAF has reached the point where it is at the end of its rope, and if it kicks it harder, they will collapse.

Even British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said anxiously:

"If the enemy is holding out, the entire fighter command may collapse and the country is in danger of falling."

But something unexpected happened, and in accordance with Hitler's will, Marshal Goering adjusted the direction of the attack.

The Luftwaffe began a massive bombing of London on September 7.

The exhausted RAF finally took a breath of relief, and they regained their combat effectiveness in a very short time.

On 9 September, more than 200 Luftwaffe bombers bombed London again, under the cover of a powerful escort group.

The RAF was ready, just as the enemy's huge fleet of aircraft had just crossed the English Channel.

The long-awaited Spitfire and Hurricane swarmed up, using their previous tactics, separating the German fighters from bombers and shooting down a large number of enemy planes.

Such battles have been going on, and everyone knows that the RAF will not give in.

Finally, on October 12, Hitler postponed the "Sea Lion Project." ”

In the summer of 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and the Battle of Britain ended.
