Comments by "Keit Hammleter" (@keithammleter3824) on "Hitler Stunk As A Military Leader. Germans Who Were There Describe It" video.
Interesting that Hitler thought that an air war with Britain had to happen first, to destroy the RAF and allow an invasion to take place. Churchill didn't think the presences or absence of an effective RAF would make a crucial difference to a large scale invasion. He instead set up a rapid reaction mobile ground force to stop the Germans on whatever beach(s) they decided to land at. This is consistent with the view that if the Germans had proceeded across the Channel when Dunkirk fell, Britain would have been conquered. But Hitler had not prepared for that - he had not expected France to fall so easily. But the film is correct in saying Britain and its allies did not win the war through superior ability - the Germans lost it through making mistakes.
