7 BLITZKREIG GERMAN MILITARY TACTICS OR “LIGHTING WAR” The key to blitzkrieg is … SURPRISE! It is designed to attack many different targets with overwhelming numbers so as to simply devastate the enemy.

8 BLITZKREIG The Blitzkrieg was a style of battle, that had never been seen before. It was extremely successful, it was so overwhelming that no one had a defense to it. When other nations saw this attack they were not sure if Hitler was THAT good, or was Poland THAT bad……

9 Hitler crushes France in June 1940 Hitler’s last enemy was Great Britain, who along with France had been defeated at the battle of Dunkirk Battle of Britain, largest air battle ever fought in the history of warfare. July to November 1940 and was won by the Royal Air Force (RAF or British Air Force). First major German loss in WWII and forced Hitler to change his strategy British people fought for their country and a possible Nazi invasion (Operation Sea Lion). Britain

10 Now Britain Is All Alone! Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. The “Lion of England”

11 "What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin, upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization, upon it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our institution and our Empire." Britain WINSTON CHURCHILL JUNE 18 1940 FROM HIS "FINEST HOUR" SPEECH

12 The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. Britain WINSTON CHURCHILL JUNE 18 1940 FROM HIS "FINEST HOUR" SPEECH

13 But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Britain WINSTON CHURCHILL JUNE 18 1940 FROM HIS "FINEST HOUR" SPEECH

14 Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour." Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."
