July 10 - October 31 1940 This battle was the first air only conflict and Hitler’s first defeat of World War II. The Luftwaffe engaged in the bombing of military and civilian targets in an effort to destroy the RAF and force the Brits to surrender. However, the Nazis underestimated the courage and resolve of British forces who in turn destroyed nearly two thousand German aircraft and killed/wounded/captured over 4,000 German airmen. During the campaign, some 55,000 British civilians were killed and wounded.
