If the RAF claimed that it had ‘won’ the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe never acknowledged that it had ‘lost’. The Luftwaffe simply saw the attacks against Britain as a developing campaign, during which tactics were evolved to meet changing circumstances.
‘Battle of Britain Day’ 15th September is a popular date to declare ‘victory’, heavily promoted by Churchill with the newspaper headline ‘187 Nazi Planes Down’. However, as we have seen in the three volumes of Combat Archive covering the days between the 15th and 27th September, the Luftwaffe was far from a spent force.
