  1. The German air force failed to destroy or even target in a determined way the mole in Dunkirk harbour that the bulk of the Expeditionary Force embarked from. This was because Germans failed to understand its importance. In the Battle of Britain, the Germans failed to comprehend the importance of the radar masts which were very vulnerable. The Germans had a unit of fighters with 1000lb bombs trained for precision strikes. They also had drop tanks that would have enabled them reach many of the masts and destroy the whole system. Most of the pilot losses During the Battle of Britain were lost on attacks of the invasion barges in the Channel ports. I agree that the Hitler was mainly concerned with conquering Russia and for that he needed to fool Stalin that Britain was Germany's priority. I'd go so far as to say the Battle of Britain was largely a deception operation. People forget that after Hallifax declined the premiership, effective choosing Churchill to lead the country, Chamberlain still had the allegiance of most Tory MPs and in Cabinet under Churchill, Chamberlain was extremely bellicose toward Germany.
