There was no landbridge to Britain. Without that he could not send his army, therefore he had to settle with the Luftwaffe attacking by air.

How did Hitlers choice to call off the bombing of Britain lead to the Allied success in the war?

What Hitler called off (in September 1940) was the planned German invasion of Britain. He did this because the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) had been unable to achieve supremacy in the skies above southern England. Heavy bombing of civilian targets in Britain was a feature of the period September 1940-January 1941. There were further heavy raids in May 1941 - after which much of the Luftwaffe was moved eastwards for use against the Soviet Union. Later in WW2 there were further raids on Britain and in 1944 the V1s and V2s. The fact that Britain continued to fight in 1940-41 meant that the war against Germany continued. IF Britain had fallen it's very hard to see how there could have been a D-Day or any Allied victory in Western Europe. Joncey


What british policy failed to stop hitler?

Because Adolf Hitler was not interested in a peaceful compromise or solution to the issues he stated publically. Most of the leaders of Britain, France, Belgium & Netherlands failed to recognize just how dangerous Hitler was, nor did they know of Hitler's plans for conquest & war.Appeasement or compromise may have had a chance to work to prevent the First World War, but it was wholly ineffective in dealing with Hitler. You have to know your enemy (easier said then done).On the flip side, even if Britain & France had attempted a stronger diplomatic technique "get tough, just say-no", then it was still very unlikely to avoid a war. Hitler was not a mere "bully' that could be forced to back-down. This technique would only have worked with Italy's Mussolini. No diplomatic solution short of surrender would have stopped Hitler. In retrospect, war with Hitler was totally unavoidable because immediate military conquest was his primary national goal.The only real way to have prevented an attempted military conquest (& war) by Hitler was to convince him that you would win the war, not him. Some may call this the 'Speak softly, but carry a big stick'-Teddy Roosevelt, technique. Apparently Hitler was convinced that Germany could win. His object was successful conquest, not national suicide.

What result led Hitler to call off the evasion of Britain?

Operation Sea Lion was the German plan to invade Britain in the late summer of 1940. Before the invasion could take place, the Luftwaffe had to neutralise the RAF so that they would have air superiority. The German aircraft losses were so high that Hitler decided to abandon his invasion plans and attack Russia instead. This air battle is known as the Battle of Britain.

Why was London a particular target of Hitler and the German military?

London (being the capital of Great Britain) was bombed in retaliation for the earlier bombing by the British of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was mostly a 'particular target' for Hitler who felt gravely insulted by the bombing of his capital city. The German military on the other hand had been focusing up to then on the bombing of British military air fields. Historians generally believe that if the German command had been allowed to go on focusing on the air fields, the British air force might have been largely destroyed, making a German invasion feasible. As it was, the focus on London allowed the RAF to rebuild and regroup, which probably was a major factor in Germany's decision to call off the invasion of Britain.
