37:27Now PlayingThe Battle of Britain: Attack of the Eagles
What was Eagle Day in the summer of 1940? Why did German intelligence so badly underestimate Britain’s defences? And was British success really down to “The Few”?
In part 3 of our Battle of Britain series, James Holland and Al Murray explore the Luftwaffe’s assault on Britain, the failings of German strategy, and the extraordinary RAF defence that stopped the Nazi war machine.
This episode covers:
• Eagle Day and the Luftwaffe’s plan for victory
• Why German intelligence about the RAF was so poor
• The role of “The Few” and how the RAF fought back
• How Britain survived the decisive battles of summer 1940
