The War in Europe was fought with some what more honor with the expectations of the fanatical S.S troops. During **H****itler's** last ditch ardennes gamble to divide the allies in low lands, S.S Troops committed many atrocities like the malady massacre. On September 15, 1940 Germany launched a large bombing attack on London, they felt that they were close to victory, the Bristh royal air force took to the sky and scattered the German borders. They shot down a number of german planes. It was clear from this battle that great Britain was not successful. Although Germany would continue bombing London and other targets in Great Britain for a long time, the raids began to slow down as they realized they could not defeat the royal air force. Although the Germans had more planes and pilots ,the British were able to fight them off and win the battle. This was because they had the advantage of the fight over their own territory, the German planes were coming to attack. This gave them time to get to their planes in the air to help defend their territory. Great Britain's air force was called the **R.A.F** or the __**Royal Air Force**__, Germany's Air Force was called __**Luft Waffe**__. The code name of Hitler's invasion plans operation was ''Sea lion". It is estimated that around 1,000 British planes were shot down during the battle while over 1,800 German planes were destroyed. The main types of fighter planes used in the battle were the Messerchtt BF109 and the Bf110 by the Germans __**luft waffe**__ and __**hurricaneMK**__ and **__spitfiremk__** by the R.A.F. The leader of German Luftwaffe was **Herman Goering.**
