How did they manage to stop the Blitz?

Answer 1

That is a question of which blitz you are referring to. there were two blitz used in World War II. one was the German blitz on London and other English cities during the battle of Britain. the other blitz was the German blitz that overran Poland, France and most of European Russia.

the blitz on London and other cities during the battle of Britain was perhaps the biggest mistake Germany made in the western war. the goal of the battle was to crush England's fighter command in order to control the skies. this would allow the Germans to invade Britain and win the war. the battle started with bomber raids on air fields and other facilities in england, and furious dog fighter began in the sky. the Germans almost always lost more planes, but could replace the pilots better than the English. just as fighter command was pushed the the breaking point, Herman goering the head of the Luftwaffe (the Nazi air force) switched tactics. he decided that to finish off fighter command, he would attack cities, and force the fighters into the air. this was a huge blunder, as it took pressure off the airfields. this gave fighter command the time and the rest it needed to better organize its defense. when fighter command was ready, it was more than a match for the Luftwaffe. although, bombings of London and other cities continued until the end of the war. perhaps the greatest tool the English had was the radar stations. this allowed fighter command to know where a German raid was coming from. this proved invaluable.
