THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

Dux Screenshot

 
 
Tuesday August 13, 1940 (Eagle Day) was the day Germany attacked Britian. It had been briefed the day previous to Adler Tag that we would be going across the Channel in strong formations to attack England. At last, we would be concentrating in large bomber formations with a fighter escort. For so long we had been flying our individual mission on simple operations like photographic reconnaissance or minelaying duties. Some, like us had not even seen a british fighter or even fired a shot in anger and it hardly seemed as if awar was on at all. Now our airfields had many bombers at the ready, many had been flown in from inland airfields, and I could see that now our great Luftwaffe would be at last attacking England.
