I dont see any mention in the news of the 15 th which is celebrated in England as Battle of Britain Day. It wasnt the end of the battle and certainly not of the war, but as Sir Winston said it was perhaps "the end of the beginning" with the start being when Germany and the Luftwaffe took over most of Europe and France and was looking unstopable. The next step was to invade England but first they had to conquer the RAF then the Royal Navy. The Germans made a maximum effort on the 15thm and Dowding as head of Fighter Command met them with a full response , as Churchill asked "what reserves do we have" and Dowding answered " There are none". The RAF was able to repulse German attacks and prevail, with a narrow margin and stay in operation. Hitler, realized he could not invade England and in perhaps the most costly mistake he could have made looked instead to invade Russia.
