Blitzkrieg, or "lightning war," was a military strategy employed by Nazi Germany that emphasized rapid, concentrated attacks using coordinated air and ground forces. During the Battle of Britain in 1940, this tactic was primarily executed through intense aerial bombardments by the Luftwaffe, aiming to destroy British morale and cripple the Royal Air Force. However, the British forces, bolstered by effective radar technology and resilient defensive tactics, managed to withstand the onslaught, ultimately leading to Germany's failure to achieve air superiority. This marked a significant turning point in World War II, as it was the first major defeat for Hitler's military ambitions.

The Battle Britain
Winston Churchill was the British leader during Battle of Britain.
The Battle of Britain took place against the Nazi bomber and fighter planes in the skies over Great Britain during the Summer of 1940, during a period when Britain stood alone against them. It was fought in the skies over Britain after France surrendered following the Battle of France. It takes its name from a speech Churchill gave in which he said, "The Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin."
