Today during CWI we had started watching a video about Britain being forced up against a wall while facing the Germans.We also had our notebooks passed back today along with us being assigned to read Ch 6 in A Short History Of WWII and answer the questions in our notebook.A short recap of what we had seen from the video includes Britain being pushed back to its homeland where it had to defend itself against the German army which had nearly outnumbered them 2 to 1.The 50 or so British divisions had to face the German army of roughly 80 strong. To the Germans Britain's navy had been far too powerful to take on Hitler then wanted to attack by air and could have very easily won if British scientists had not been able to develop radars to gain an advantage.The Luftwaffe had eventually bombed London by accident causing the RAF to start dropping bombs on Berlin.The bombing of cities had stalled the Germans long enough so that the RAF was able to recover and get back into the fight.The Germans had then gotten worried about how the Luftwaffe had not been able to break Britain and so their mission also known as Operation Sea Lion had been cancelled and we wait to finish the rest of the video tomorrow
