Regarding the battle of Britain, Len Deighton's "Fighter" is a real eye opener, and also a very good book. Trying to drive England into withdrawing their declaration of war did not work out as planned.. but it only did because England made less mistakes than Germany. I am also thinking very different of Churchill now than ten years ago.
Just of all the "winner" and architect Hugh Dowding was discharged. But the man who made it all possible was another scot, Mr. Robert Watson-Watts and his idea of a "chain home" radar. Germany just underestimated it.
On the other hand, since Hitler had no real intention to invade or fight England, this general attitude could also be found in the german air force.
