bombing of the british airfields
Answer: The German blitzkrieg in the opening months of 1940 had overrun Norway, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, and most shockingly, France, with breathtaking speed.
Only Britain was still in the fight, and the British had left the vast majority of their heavy equipment on the beaches of Dunkirk.
All Hitler had to left to do to end the war in Europe was invade, or use his overwhelming military superiority to convince Britain to make peace (something most British politicians were prepared to do). To invade -- or merely to further improve his bargaining position -- he needed to establish air superiority for his invasion fleet.

The Battle of Britain was a major air battle fought between the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Luftwaffe during World War II. It was primarily a result of the German invasion of France and the Low Countries in May 1940, which led to the Dunkirk evacuation. Following this, Germany planned to launch an amphibious invasion of Britain known as Operation Sea Lion. However, before attempting the invasion, Germany needed to gain air superiority over the English Channel, leading to the Battle of Britain in July 1940.
