Just to provide some context while celebrating the bravery, skill and success of Polish "Kościuszko" 303 sqd, the top scoring RAF squadron of the battle of Britain, also remember the other nationalities who flew as part of the squadron during the battle and who contributed SO much to its success. (All kill tallies mentioned are for during the period of the battle of Britain). Polish "Kościuszko" 303 Sqd total kill tally - 58.5 confirmed kills Squadron commander, Sqd Ldr Ronald Gustave Kellett (British) - 5 confirmed kills "A" Flight commander, Fl Lt John Alexander Kent (Canadian) - 6 confirmed kills "B" Flight commander, Fl Lt Athol Stanhope Forbes (British) - 7 confirmed kills. Sgt pilot Josef František (Czechoslovakian) - 17 confirmed Kills. We in the UK remember ALL the pilots (and NOT just the Polish ones).

The "Area Bombing Directive" which was championed by the Chief of the Air Staff (head of the RAF), Sir Charles Portal was handed by the British Air Ministry to RAF bomber command in February 1942..... over a week BEFORE Arthur Harris took over Bomber Command. Harris followed his orders and was hung out to dry as a scapegoat by his superiors once some parts of the British public had second thoughts about the level of destruction.

We know we know... The Germans couldn't rule the world by military might, so Klaus Schwab and his mates want to do it in the manner of a fungal infection. THAT'S why we told the European branch of the WEF corporate globalist world take over to feck off (Not that its been done... we actually got "BRINO" instead of "Brexit" with corporate globalist puppets STILL infesting the houses of Parliament!!!). Why would a supposedly intelligent and cosmopolitan gentleman as yourself equate British hatred of supra national political organisations with hatred of ordinary European citizens?

Please tell me more about the luftwaffe attacks on Ottawa, Canberra, New Delhi & Pretoria. Oh that's right, there weren't any, the full weight of the Luftwaffe was directed ENTIRELY at Great Britain ALONE.

Home team advantage overcame the overconfidence of the stronger away team.

No mention of sustained Luftwaffe attacks on the airfields of Croydon and Kenley troughout August 1940 which both lay within the boundary of Greater London, the very same boundary that Hitler had EXPRESSLY forbade any attacks within. For example the low-level "pinpoint" attack by Erprobungsgruppe 210 on 15th August 1940 as well as hitting the RAF station at Croydon, also hit various factories and a housing estate around the base resulting in the deaths of at least 62 innocent civilians, 17 of which were unidentifiable and buried in a mass grave at Croydon Crematorium. A further 200-250 were injured. When you say Churchill ordered "80 heavy bombers" to attack Berlin, which "heavy bombers" were these? The RAF had NO heavy bombers in operation in August 1940, indeed it would take the RAF until January 1941 to have their first heavy bomber in operational use, the Short Stirling. Records show that the RAF raids on Berlin in August 1940 dropped as much as 20 tons of bombs on the nazi capital, as compared to the 200-350 tons of bombs that the luftwaffe was dropping on London and other British cities most nights throughout the autumn / winter of 1940/41.

@HistoryHustle I think he meant "dinghy" of the variety that the globalist puppets who've now subverted the UK government seem to be "unable" to stop crossing the English channel in droves.
2
Please tell me about the luftwaffe air attacks on Ottawa, Canberra, New Delhi, Pretoria and Wellington? (Pakistan did not exist as a nation in 1940) Oh yes, thats right THERE WEREN'T ANY!!! THE FULL MIGHT OF THE LUFTWAFFE WAS DIRECTED SOLELY AGAINST THE UK.

@god bless farage Don't feed "Mark" he's a dyed in the wool nazi fanboi. He'd have happily been shakin' those zyklon B crystals through that roof grating in 1943.

@HistoryHustle Pay no attention to that BS. Another clueless commenter passing off trumped up statistics. While celebrating the bravery, skill and success of Polish "Kościuszko" 303 sqd, the top scoring RAF squadron of the battle of Britain, also remember the other nationalities who flew as part of the squadron during the battle and who contributed SO much to its success. Polish "Kościuszko" 303 Sqd total kill tally - 58.5 confirmed kills Squadron commander, Sqd Ldr Ronald Gustave Kellett (British) - 5 confirmed kills "A" Flight commander, Fl Lt John Alexander Kent (Canadian) - 6 confirmed kills "B" Flight commander, Fl Lt Athol Stanhope Forbes (British) - 7 confirmed kills. Sgt pilot Josef František (Czechoslovakian) - 17 confirmed Kills. As for the nonsense that "On VE day Poland was the only countiry not allowed to (m)arch in the victory parade" The truth is that Poland was the ONLY member of the allied nations who received TWO invites to the 1946 UK Victory parade. It CHOOSE through a poisonous mix of political hatred and hubris to ignore than BOTH. Their absence from the parade was of their own haughty doing.

@jimdavies6764 Germany took the rest of Czechoslovakia, but without bloodshed. Oh so that makes it ok then. Moving swiftly on what was going on with nazi Germany and Poland? whats your take on that, Jim?
1
@jimdavies6764 Stupid bloody YT deleting my replies again for utterly NO reason. "I didn't say anything about "the rest of Czechoslovakia"".... yet in your previous post. "six months later Hitler did grab the rest - but without bloodshed", as if that makes ANY difference at all. How would you feel if a neighbouring country marched into yours and installed a dicatorship, enslaved your country, and pillaged your country's bouyant economy? Of course none of it would matter if there was "no bloodshed". Germany had NO business in Austria, Czechoslovakia OR Poland. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

@senseofthecommonman Ignore Mark, he's a deluded nazi fanboi. He'd have been the one happily sprinkling the "Zyklon B" crystals through the roofing grate in a nazi death camp somewhere in Britain if we'd lost the war.

Or the battle of the Atlantic, on which the liberation of Europe depended, courtesy of the British and Canadian navies, with a very minor supporting role by the USN atlantic fleet.

So your father was in the same class as NINE NZ pilots who died in the battle of Britain? Unlikely.

@MarkHarrison733 Complete bollocks Mark.

@MarkHarrison733 Grrr... for some reason your first reply to "Chris Long" had disappeared from the page YT now renders for me. What does AJP confirm in 1961 please Mark?

Remember "If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you ever attempted it in the first place " !!!

Complete and utter bollocks from OP. While Britain had done EVERYTHING to prevent the escalation of civilian terror bombing from the outset of war, from 1st Sept 1939 onwards Germany had bombed, Wieluń, Warsaw, Lublin, Rotterdam, and MANY British cities. During the same period the British government had ordered that non-military targets (including population areas) in Germany could NOT be attacked, this incredibly included armaments factories which were designated as private property and NOT nazi state property. The vast majority of British bombing attacks from Sept 1939 to May 1940 were against the ships of the Kriegsmarine, and even then the RAF were not allowed to bomb them in harbour to avoid the probability of civilian casualties, but only off the coast, and so from 3 Sept 1939 until 24 Aug 1940 the only things that were dropped on German cities were propaganda leaflets. The "poor victim" Germans were in fact the VERY FIRST nation to carry out civilian terror bombing when they bombed Liege in Belgium on 6th aug 1914 using their Zeppelin force, just 11 years after the invention of powered flight.
1
Aircrew losses that the Luftwaffe never recovered from..... but listen to the nazi fanbois and they'll tell you that the nazis never tried seriously to invade Britain.
1
The Germans following the old maxim "If at first you don't succeed, deny all evidence that you ever attempted it in the first place".

Please direct me to ANYWHERE where "the western allies say they took out Germany on their own". Please don't mistake your own personal delusions for facts.

I think you mean international organisations, aka "globalists".

@senseofthecommonman There's only one way to find out...... FIGHT !!!!!!!

@HistoryHustle Its a reference to a British TV comedian named "Harry Hill". Nothing meant by it. All the best.

Yes, the loser claims a draw. To use a paraphrase from a famous 1960's UK high court case "He would say that wouldn't he?"

We Brits survived 18 months of being the sole opponent to the nazis alone.

I know what you say has plenty of merit, but it's only in the last couple of decades that the difference has really raised tempers. You have only to read ACM Hugh Dowding's (Himself a Scot born in Moffat, Dumfriesshire) letter to Winston Churchill in May 1940, asking him to send no more Fighter Command aircraft to France.... the passage reads. "I hope and believe that our Armies may yet be victorious in France and Belgium, but we have to face the possibility that they may be defeated. In this case I presume that there is no-one who will deny that ENGLAND (my caps) should fight on, even though the remainder of the Continent of Europe is dominated by the Germans." Seems that punctillious old "Stuffy" wasn't overly sensitive about the English / British distinction.
1
@Rob...0...1 I don't need any clarification thank you (how silly of you to think so). I even understand that Northern Ireland ISN'T part of Great Britain, but is part of the "United Kingdom", But again as I simply said above the Scot Hugh Dowding, who I'd wager my life savings had a better than average grasp of Scottish history was quite at ease in (admittedly incorrectly) substituting "England" for "Britain". Nothing you say in your nationalist fury changes that fact. I hope your English comprehension can handle that.

@reginaldmcnab3265 Oh I agree Reginald, I was there in the UK's million person march against the Afghan war, a modern day atrocity initiated by the US, seemingly at the behest of the MIC. But back to the original point of this post. My comment was to highlight that irrespective of Hitler's decree that London was "out of bounds", innocent London civilians were already being killed on a regular basis for a month BEFORE the "bombing in error" by that Luftwaffe crew.
1
@reginaldmcnab3265 "Ok so let’s simplify 80 of the British empire’s heaviest bombers hit Berlin every night for a week" As I pointed out above, these RAF medium bombers dropped on average 20 tons of bombs over the nazi capital each night of that late August week, which were directed at railway marshalling yards & military targets in the Berlin area, but obviously, as with the Luftwaffe attacks on London fighter stations with accompanying civilian casualties, but as I said earlier 20 tons dropped by the RAF on Berlin was responded to with 200-350 tons of bombs that the Luftwaffe subsequently chose to drop on London, and then other British cities each night. Hitler openly foretold this during his "Berlin Sportspalast" speech on the 4th Sept 1940. (Hitler actually aspired to dropping 1000 tons of bombs a night, but the luftwaffe was never able to meet his desire). It took the western allies in their later "area bombing" campaign., to show hitler how it was done properly.

Must have been the same at Dresden.

My word... your physician REALLY needs to lower your dosage.

Mark... still peddling your complete nonsense? First German bombs dropped on the British mainland? 16th October 1939 saw the very first bombs dropped on Britain when the Germans launched scattered air attacks over port and industrial facilities around the Scottish city of Edinburgh. First bombs dropped by the RAF on German soil? 19th March 1940... When on 13th November 1939 the luftwaffe bombed RAF Sullom Voe a seaplane base with port facilities in the Shetland Isles (with the resultant death of a rabbit, and no hits on the 9 seaplanes or 2 RN vessels stationed there), the RAF retaliated by hitting the nazi seaplane base at Hörnum on the island of Sylt in the North Sea. These were THE VERY FIRST RAF bombs to land on German soil....5 months AFTER the first German bombs had landed on British soil. The first British or German civilian casualty caused by the bombing of the opposing side during WW2? 16th March 1940 when German bombs hit the village of Waithe on Orkney during an attack on the Home Fleet anchorage at Scapa Flow, which killed a 27 year-old County Council employee, James Isbister (luckily, his wife, baby son, and the neighbour James was endeavouring to rescue from her bombed cottage all survived). First British bombs to drop on the actual German mainland? 11th May 1940, when the British air ministry for the first time allowed the bombing of railway yards, communication centres and bridges west of the Rhine River as interdiction of German supply lines for the German assault into the NEUTRAL Low countries and France on 10th May 1940. Previous to this date the British air ministry in an effort to stop the spreading of the conflict had refused to allow the RAF to drop ANY bombs on the German mainland, instead the RAF supplied the German demand for toilet paper by dropping propaganda leaflets on German cities. This attack on 11th May 1940 had also come after REPEATED attacks against RN installations on the British mainland, most notably at Rosyth near Edinburgh, and the Cromarty Firth, both in Scotland throughout the winter of 1939/40. First British bombs dropped EAST of the Rhine River? 23/24th August 1940. This attack ostensibly directed at the Klingenberg Power Station in Eastern Berlin & Templehof airport was in RETALIATION for REPEATED luftwaffe raids on RAF stations within the suburbs of Greater London throughout July and August 1940 that had already caused HUNDREDS of innocent British civilian deaths & casualties (euphemistically known nowadays as "collateral damage") this was inspite of Hitler's previous decrees that no bombs should be dropped within the boundaries of Greater London. Obviously that decree had never reached the ears of Herman Goering. German retaliation for the one night of bombing of Berlin on 23/24th August 1940? The launching of the all out assault against British cities from 7th sept 1940 onwards, culminating in the world's first attempt to create a firestorm during operation "moonlight sonata" on the British city of Coventry on the night of 14/15th Nov 1940, where the luftwaffe sent 575 bombers using their world beating "X-gerat" bombing system (in the Germans own words capable of placing "target indicator" flares with an accuracy of 50 meters at 200 miles range) over the civilian city centre of Coventry dropping 550 tons of high explosive (including hundreds of "flammen" (oil) bombs) followed by over 30,000 incendiary bombs. The final death toll of that single raid? A previously unheard of 568 innocent civilians, this was in addition to the thousands of other British civilians already killed in other cities across Britain over the previous 2 months. The first British bombing raid directly targetted at German civilians? "Operation Abigail" on the night of 16/17th December 1940, (3 months AFTER the opening of the nazi "blitz" on British cities) the Dec 16th attack by the RAF was launched against the German city of Mannheim where 100 RAF bombers dropped 100 tons of HE and 14,000 incendiaries inflicting a death toll on the German population of 34 dead and 81 injured. Not to worry though , the RAF eventually "upped its game" and showed the Germans how to do it properly a year or two later.

If you completely conquer the ruling country of an empire and replace its government and head of state, then its colonies no longer have a sovereign connection to that country and effectively become "free agents", effectively independent, and able to exercise self-determination and ally with whom they please. If France was anything to go by, then the Nazis would have left a part of Great Britain unoccupied by nazi forces, and nominally governed by a puppet British "rump" government (possibly led by Oswald Mosley, the leader of the outlawed prewar "British Union of Fascists", who knows?), this would be in order to retain a semblance of British sovereignty with which to exert power over the rest of the British commonwealth. Just as the Germans did with Vichy France which was primarily allowed to remain under a nominally French government, which was then used to administer and control French colonies in SE Asia, the middle east and north west Africa. For example this setup allowed the Germans to quietly direct the Vichy puppet government to allow the Japanese to land military forces unopposed in French Indo China prior to the Japanese entry into WW2. For its part Britain had plans in place for the UK government to evacuate to Canada in the event of a German invasion of Britain (British gold reserves from the "Bank of England" had already been sent to Canada in 1940), and to attempt to continue opposition to the fascists from there. That raises the question, which British government would the British colonies take their orders from? The Puppet British govt based in the nazi dominated United Kingdom? Or the British govt-in-exile based in Canada?

Hmmm... how could it be considered a draw? Goering's stated intention was to destroy the RAF within 4 weeks. 3 months later the RAF was stronger than it had been at the start of the battle..... draw indeed !!!!
1
@oldman8584 A truce? or persuade Britain to accept nazi hegemony over Europe? Britain chose NOT to accept that hegemony and so nazi Germany attempted to "take Britain out" and failed.

@BradBrassman The Luftwaffe fighter pilots had already had PLENTY of practice strafing avenues full of innocent French refugees fleeing from the murderous nazi assault during the battle of France.... Them School kids were lucky to get away with their lives.

@duhni4551 "Now at the beginning of the war cities them selves were not targets" Tell the inhabitants of the Polish town of Wieluń which on the very first day of the German invasion of Poland whilst completely undefended, and lacking in ANY anti-aircraft defences or a military garrison was attacked by the Luftwaffe who chose to drop 46 tons of high explosive on the town centre, destroying amongst other "vital targets" a clearly marked civilian hospital, and various other churches and a synogogue, in total 70% of the town was completely destroyed, and 127 inhabitants killed, although some records state as many as 1200.
1
@duhni4551 Your original statement doesn't specify ANY country in particular, but just states "cities were not targets", a statement which I felt needed to be challenged as it was incorrect. But I've no disagreement with the rest of your post.

Fancy seeing you and your "other planet delusions" here Mark !!!

@MarkHarrison733 Yes, indeed. You've not been to Paris, Berlin, Madrid or Rome recently have you?

@ianmacewan9416 "The result of England constantly calling the whole Island England" Complete BS. Catch this. Hugh Dowding was a proud SCOT, actually from Moffat in Dunfriesshire.... now read the following passage which was a pargraph taken from a letter he sent to Winston Churchill on 16th May 1940. "I hope and believe that our Armies may yet be victorious in France and Belgium, but we have to face the possibility that they may be defeated. In this case I presume that there is no-one who will deny that ENGLAND (my caps) should fight on, even though the remainder of the Continent of Europe is dominated by the Germans". Seems he was less up his own arse about "identity" BS than you are.

Complete bollocks from start to finish. Hitler had been bombing RAF sector airfields such as Hornchurch, Northolt, Biggin Hill & Kenley which were ALL within the suburbs of London for WEEKS with resultant hundreds of innocent deaths and injuries due to what is now known as "collateral damage". Just to counter the rest of your complete bollocks here's a timeline of bombing "milestones" between the Germans and British (Remember that aside from Britain the Germans had been killing innocent civilains with HE bombs since the deaths of over 300 Spanish civilians at Guernica in April 1937, and countless hundreds in Warsaw in 1939, and Rotterdam in 1940). First German bombs dropped on the British mainland? 16th October 1939 saw the very first bombs dropped on Britain when the Germans launched scattered air attacks over port and industrial facilities around the Scottish city of Edinburgh, and the RN naval base at Rosyth. First bombs dropped by the RAF on German soil? Although the RAF had launched bomber attacks on Kriegsmarine naval units in the North sea from Sept 3rd 1939 onwards, it was actually the 19th March 1940 that the FIRST RAF bombs landed on German soil... When on 13th November 1939 the luftwaffe bombed RAF Sullom Voe a seaplane base with port facilities in the Shetland Isles (with the resultant death of a rabbit, and no hits on the 9 seaplanes or 2 RN vessels stationed there), the RAF retaliated by hitting the nazi seaplane base at Hörnum on the island of Sylt in the North Sea.

First British bombs to drop on the actual German mainland? 11th May 1940, when the British air ministry for the first time allowed the bombing of railway yards, communication centres and bridges west of the Rhine River to interrupt German supply lines supporting their undeclared assault into the NEUTRAL Low countries and France on 10th May 1940.

Not to worry though , the RAF eventually "upped its game" and showed the Germans how to do it properly a year or two later. Don't try to hide the fact that the Germans enjoyed dropping HE on the cities of its neighbours from the earliest days of flight. The first aerial bombs dropped in history were from a zeppelin raid on Liege in Belgium on 4th August 1914... just 11 years after the invention of powered flight. Since WW2, they've learned the lesson NOT to do it again.
