How was Britain able to slow hitlers advance during the blitz?

Answer 1

England's first advantage was luck. Hitler did not know he had an advantage. When the British Army retreated from Dunkirk, England was protected by only one fully armed Canadian division. Hitler did not mount a sea attack. He missed his opportunity.

When Hitler began his blitz with his airplanes, the British had radar. As soon as the German planes turned toward England, the British planes took off. They had their planes full of gasoline. The coastal anti-aircraft guns were loaded and ready. The alarm had sounded. The radar had made them ready. When the German planes had passed the coastal artillery. The highly maneuverable spitfires attacked first. They were highly effective in shooting down German planes. As the blitz came closer to London, the older hurricanes went into action. A number of German planes were shot down.

When the English lost a plane, the pilot would parachute from his plane he would get another plane. When a German pilot bailed out, the Germans would lose a good pilot. The Germans lost well trained pilots.
