Two Historical Events
That I might have posted about, except for the cracking attempt. Anyway the two are both WW-II related.
80 Years ago today, a few days late: 15 September is recognized at the Battle of Britain Day. It marks the largest one-day series of air raids on Britain, as the Nazis attempted to bomb the UK into submissions in 1940. It was also the first very clear-cut victory of the defenders, even if the margin wasn't as big as claimed at the time: https://www.alamy.com/battle-of-bri...e268824065.html 80 Years ago today, one day late: Due to the Luftwaffe's failure to knock out the RAF during the Battle of Britain (which actually lasted from early July to early November, including "The Blitz"), Unternehmen Seelöwe-operation Sealion, the planned invasion of England-was indefinitely postponed. Nazi Germany never came closee to mounting such a threat again. As Winston Churchill said: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." I close with a personal salute to those "few". |
I join you in that salute.
