Phase One: The Channel Attacks

Inflicted massive damage on the warships and the British stop using the Channel for their navy Slide9

Phase Two: Eagle Attack

Phase Three: The Blitz

September 7, 1940: Luftwaffe begin air raids against London.

September 15: Luftwaffe conducts two massive bombings-ends with 60 German planes shot down and 20 RAF planes.

Hitler decides to postpone Operation Sea Lion two days later. Slide11

Phase Three: The Blitz

After Hitler realized a land invasion of Britain was not going to happen, he shifted his focus to invading the Soviet Union.

Hitler gets mad and decides to bomb, or “blitz” historical towns in England, such as Bath.Slide12

Phase Four: The End of the Battle

October 31, 1940: Battle of Britain ends. Slide13
