The Battle of Britain The bombing of London & other cities was known as the Blitz.
The German operation to invade Britain was called "Umnternehen Seelöwe" (operation Sealion). Germany attacked England by bombing airfields at first in an attempt to gain air superiority in order to be able to invade. This battle was called the Battle of Britain. Britain was able to win the Battle of Britain when the German luftwaffe changed its bombing tactics and started targeting cities more than RAF bases. This gave the RAF enough time to prepare to attack the luftwaffe bombers and fighter escorts. It was during these bombing runs that the spitfire was able to prove itself superior to the German Messerschmidt fighters as it could fly at a higher celling. The creation of RADAR also benefited the British as they were able to find out the numbers, speed and direction of the German squadrons. After Hitler was unable to get air superiority the invasion of Britain would be difficult if not impossible.
People from Germany are called Germans.
It was called 'New England' to remind people of their history in England. Most early immigrants were from England and Scotland. Later, French, Irish, Italian, Dutch and Germans began arriving in large numbers.
