Background
***********
In the spring of 1940, Hitler's armies smashed
across the borders of the Netherlands and
Belgium and streamed into the northern reaches
of France. The German "Blitzkrieg" moved
swiftly to the west and the south, splitting
the British and French defenders, trapping the
British army at Dunkirk and forcing its
evacuation from continental Europe. The Germans
entered Paris on June 14 and forced France's
surrender on June 22. The British now stood
alone, awaiting Hitler's inevitable attempt
to invade and conquer their island.
Great Britain was in trouble. The soldiers rescued
from Dunkirk were exhausted by their ordeal.
Worse, most of their heavy armaments lay
abandoned and rusting on the French beaches.
After a short rest, the Germans began air
attacks in early summer designed to seize
mastery of the skies over England in preparation
for invasion. All that stood between the
British and defeat was a small force of RAF
pilots outnumbered in the air by four to one.
Day after day the Germans sent armadas of
bombers and fighters over England hoping to
lure the RAF into battle and annihilate the defenders.
Day after day the RAF scrambled their pilots
into the sky to do battle often three, four
or five times a day. Britain's air defense
bent but did not break. By September,
the Germans lost enthusiasm for the assault.
Hitler postponed and then canceled invasion
plans, turning his attention to the defeat
of Russia. In appreciation of the RAF pilots'
heroic effort, Winston Churchill declared:
"Never before in human history was so much
owed by so many to so few."
