In the Battle of Britain the British stood Alone against Germany's great big war machine. At the time Winston Churchill led the Nation. He refused to go with a peace agreement wit Germany. Hitler prepared to destroy and invade Great Britain.. First the Germans would destroy the royal air force known as the RAF, at first it was a fail. The battle soon continued. As it continued the Germans began to attack London.

The Germans wanted to terrorize the public so they will lose the will to fight. Many died in the raid so Winston Churchill helped the nation keep their spirits alive. Americans did so.

The Americans kept up with the Battle of Britain through radio activity from Edward R. Morrow. He was an American reporter stationed in London. He gave reports on the air raids as bombs exploded around his station. The German air force was known as the Luftwaffe.

The battle had begun to stop by 1940. Then soon enough the battle was completely over. The British stopped and the German air force, Luftwaffe, had stopped. Hitler the German dictator was forced to call off the invasion he attempted to have on British.

In the the battle was said to be won by RAF fighter command whose victory not only stopped the invasion but gave British a great chance of survival to defeat Nazi, Germany.
