In Episode 229 of _The Battle of Britain_, listeners dive into the intense, attritional final phase of the aerial campaign as the Luftwaffe shifts focus to dismantle RAF Fighter Command’s defenses with precision raids on key airfields. From the devastating bombing of Manston to the failed, costly attempt on Portsmouth, each raid reveals a clash of strategy and resilience—where German pilots claim massive victories but reality shows only half the damage. The episode uncovers how British squadrons fought back through clever tactics, early warning systems, and bold leadership, while highlighting the Luftwaffe’s growing losses despite their relentless attacks. Amid shifting targets, tactical adjustments, and a battle of attrition, one truth emerges: the air war was turning—and the tide was clearly beginning to turn against Germany. This is history at its most gripping—where courage, technology, and sheer willpower determine the fate of nations. Don’t miss this pivotal moment in the Battle of Britain.
