Today’s Mission Requirements

Video of the Day Battle of Britain
25
Battle of Britain After the victory in France, Hitler waited before invading Britain. He wanted the Luftwaffe to defeat the Royal Air Force (RAF) first.
26
Battle of Britain The problem was that the Luftwaffe was not designed to be a long-range bombing force.
27
Medium Bombers Heinkel III Dornier 17
German bombers were two-engine mediums. Dornier 17
28
Fighters The Messerschmitt 109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe.
29
Blitzkrieg This strategy combined planes and tanks and moved fast, capturing land or personnel quickly.
31
Battle of Britain The Air War started August 1940. The RAF fighters
Hurricane and Spitfire fought off the Luftwaffe.
32
Battle of Britain The RAF put up a heroic defense.
The Luftwaffe was losing many more planes than the RAF.
33
Battle of Britain During Aug
The Luftwaffe lost 403 planes and had 127 damaged. RAF only lost 153 Luftwaffe only had short / medium aircraft which limited range.
34
Battle of Britain Luftwaffe changed tactics to fight aircraft, air bases and aircraft factories. The strategy was: Take out aircraft No bases to return No factories to produce replacements Command of the air over the English Channel was on.
36
RADAR Battle of Britain British relied on technology:
Built a warning system that relied on visual observation, telephones and….. something new….. RADAR
37
Battle of Britain RADAR Helped the British spot the Luftwaffe
Make a call to the nearest air base Allowed RAF pilots to conserve fuel Also allowed RAF to mass fighters to hopefully outnumber Luftwaffe
38
Battle of Britain Luftwaffe reacted by attacking the Radar sites
British used decoy stations The Luftwaffe attacked RAF bases, factories, radar sites and….it began to take its toll
39
Battle of Britain RAF Bombing Command launched raids on Germany
Hitler was furious that RAF got through German defenses and bombed Berlin He ordered Luftwaffe stop attacks on bases, factories and launch attacks on London
40
Battle of Britain Hitler didn’t realize it but he had let the RAF off the hook…this enabled RAF time to recover and rebuild. They rebuilt runways, fuel supply areas, maintenance facilities, and RADAR sites.
41
Battle of Britain London was the Luftwaffe target.
During the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe Dropped 190,000 tons of bombs Killed over 43,000 civilians Wounded over 56,000
42
Battle of Britain Although heavy damage and losses, they did not lose control of the skies over the English Channel Germans needed control of the skies to be able to invade Britain – cancelled Operation Sea Lion Luftwaffe sustained its first major defeat
43
Battle of Britain Lessons learned:
Battle of Britain was a defensive battle for RAF RAF built fighters Luftwaffe only had short/medium range bombers – no long- range strategic bombing capability
44
Battle of Britain Lessons learned:
Without radar, RAF would not have been able to mass aircraft and fight Luftwaffe German’s lack of determination and persistence was key for Britain victory
45
Battle of Britain Lessons learned:
If Luftwaffe started to attack RAF and stuck with it, they may have won
46
Battle of Britain “If you want to obtain command of the air, you must concentrate your offensive efforts on defeating the enemy’s air force.”
