How did the British win the Battle of Britain?

How did the British win the Battle of Britain? It was looking extremely tentative at first. The Luftwaffe was sending wave after wave of bombers that were focused on air fields and radar stations which really wore the British down. The air fields were caught unprepared taking heavy losses with one big issue being the advanced warning systems to allow for the pilots to get into the air to defend against the bombers. It was really tight for a while where the British had a hard time getting planes into the air fast enough and getting them assembled fast enough in order to be able to replace the losses that were taken in the beginning of the battle. Due to the Nazis having near air superiority over Britain it was decided that aircraft production would be splintered into pieces of industry that were scattered across Britian which would serve to lower losses when the factories were targeted. One of the costs of assembling in pieces scattered is that the logistics of moving the pieces so they...

Could the Allies have won World War 2 without Britain?

  Could the Allies have won World War 2 without Britain? No. Without Britain there was no drain on the Luftwaffe which seriously impeded the progress of the 6th Army. They were depending on air drops for Logistic supplies and the Battle of Britain had severely crippled the Nazis by doing so much damage over a prolonged period of time. |t took the Russians a long time to get things under control and they were able to do so at Stalingrad for 2 reasons. They found a way to funnel their people into the meat grinder which gave the Nazis a problem They threw so many people into the charges towards the Nazis that the Nazis literally ran out of bullets and supplies and without the Luftwaffe being able to supply them they had to surrender. Essentially the lives of Russian men being recklessly thrown away in wave after wave of suicide charges which were insanely brave of those soldiers as they knew with each charge the odds were not on their side, but wave after wave ran the Germans out of a...
