The Battle of Britain & the betrayal of Russia 1941

Part 1: European Domination Take over Allied countries on the way to France Take over France Invade & Take-over Britain

Timeline… April 9, 1940 – Nazis invaded Denmark and Norway. May 10, 1940 – Nazis invaded France and Belgium. May 15, 1940 – Holland surrendered to the Nazis.

JUNE 25TH, 1940 France surrenders to Germany, just six weeks into the war This leaves England carrying most of the weight – they need Canada and the u.s. Greece, Belgium, Netherlands, Czechoslovakia- all allies but captured by Germany Germany has the help of japan and Italy as well as a pact with the soviet union

VS. The battle of Britain Britain now stood alone against the German war machine. Hitler waited for the British to surrender like the French….this didn’t happen, so Hitler ordered his generals to invade (Operation Sealion) Winston Churchill: British Prime Minister, he was determined to fight until the end. The Parliament supported this. In order for the German blitzkrieg to work, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) had to first destroy the RAF (Royal Air Force) to prevent it being able to bomb the German troops as they landed on the British beaches. The Battle of Britain was the first major battle fought entirely in the air. VS.

RAF VICTORY! Hermann Goring promised Hitler he would defeat the Royal Air Force in a couple of weeks Every day between June and October, 1940 the RAF and the Luftwaffe clashed over Britain. The British army couldn’t defeat the German army, but the air force held them off This is because: The spitfire: An advanced British plane that could out manoeuvre the German’s Radar: Britain had technology which enabled it to see when the German aircraft were about to cross the English Channel. They could then send planes to where the attack was coming!

A ray of hope Frustrated at the lack of success, Hitler switched to a strategy of terror bombing British cities. This is called a “blitz,” but it was not successful. Eventually Hitler pulled his forces out. Churchill called it ‘Britain’s finest hour’ because the RAF had held off a much larger German Luftwaffe and prevented a German invasion. Germany had been defeated for the first time in the war. The battle of Britain led to: Home front preparations Ally propaganda

Part 2: War on the Home front Many of the preparations made were similar to those in the first world war. (Rationing, propaganda, war funds, etc.) However: The use of the new German strategy called ‘Blitzkrieg’ meant that civilians would be deliberately targeted in order to spread panic and fear to confuse the enemy. Fun Fact: All road signs were uprooted in Britain to confuse enemy paratroopers or invading troops.

Civilian evacuations: “The government has made plans for the removal of schoolchildren from what are called ‘evacuable’ areas to safer places. Householders have offered homes where the children will be made welcome. The children will travel with their schoolteachers and other helpers with them. The transport of three million children is an enormous undertaking. It would not be possible to let all parents know in advance the place where each child will be sent. Of course it means heartache to be separated from your children, but you can be sure that they will be well looked after.” -British Government Leaflet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfAsnfZddEE

to Children moved from: *Between October 1940 and may 1941, nearly 1.5 million people were evacuated in Britain Children moved from: London 241,000 Manchester 84,343 Merseyside 79,930 Newcastle 52,494 Birmingham 32,688 Leeds/Bradford 26,419 Portsmouth 23,145 Sheffield 13,871 Teeside 8,052 Lancashire 71,484 Sussex 67,541 Yorkshire 50,593 Kent 38,000 Cheshire Essex 25,000 Northamptonshire 24,000 Hertfordshire 23,500 Suffolk 23,000 Somerset  21,000 Surrey 20,000 to

“Evacuation was to have a profound effect in later years on children who were uprooted from their homelands, with their Mick-Mouse gas masks, dispatched to live with strangers in what often amounted to a ‘foreign land’. I know how they felt because I was one of them, a six year old cockney more familiar with the smells and sounds of Billingsgate fish market than with manure and bird song. I came in for my fair share of rough treatment from the family who took me in, but I went on to enjoy some halcyon days growing up on a farm in Norfolk, which changed me from a young city slicker into a country lover I am to this day.” -Michael Caine

Propaganda! Propaganda aimed to keep people calm and confident that Britain was going to win the war.

The Homefront in CANADA The war coloured almost every aspect of day-to-day life in Canada Women and men were sent to the front lines. Women as medics usually and men as soldiers. Both sexes also managed munitions factories. Radio, movie houses, newspapers, magazines featured constant news updates, and advertisements from the government and citizens groups promoting the war effort Enemy naval forces came close to British Columbia, and even closer to the Atlantic provinces and Quebec Most community groups and religious faiths performed volunteer work - knitting warm woollen clothing, collecting books and newspapers, or baking cookies and other treats to send to the men and women serving at the fighting fronts

Part 3: June 22nd, 1941 Historians are interested in the battle of Britain as it can be seen as a turning point in World History. After his failed attempt to invade Britain, Hitler would choose to go back on his agreement with Russia and invade them anyways. This meant that like in the First World War, he would attempt to fight a war on two fronts This eventually meant the defeat of Germany in Russia, and it is said to be Hitler’s greatest mistake.
