The Blitz caused an enormous amount of civilian casualties for the first time ever in war, as well as a great deal of damage, anguish and human suffering. If that was the short term aim of the German High Command it was a success. In the long term aim, to give the Luftewaffe control of the skies over Britain and soften up the population below in preparation for the invasion of the UK, it failed. The Battle of Britain saw the RAF keep control of the skies and made invasion impossible.

German high command knew that any attemp to sent a naval invasion of Britain would fail because any fleet getting close would be destoryed by the Royal Navy or Bombed by the RAF. Because of this the Luftwaffe (German air force) where ordered to take out the RAF's ability to destroy a fleet so a naval invasion could be sent from France around the Royal Navy. The weeks that followed had intense fighting between the RAF and Luftwaffe (this period is know as the Battle of Britain) by the end both sides has taken significant losses and one final attack was launched by the Germans with most of their remaining aircraft. This final push was defeated by the RAF and the German plans to invade Britain where put on hold due to the reaining threat of the RAF.
