=__What Happened?__ = ===The Battle of Britain was the first battle to be fought entirely in the sky. It was an invasion of Britain so Germany needed that advantage over the British and the Americans. The Blitzkrieg tactics were used by the Germans. However, the Germans were ordered to stick around the bomber formations but they weren't very prepared to fend for themselves. Fortunately, Britain had the technology of radar tracking and system, so anyone who was parachuted to the battle field or even crashed, they could bed tracked and found during the battle. ===

= Primary Source = My name is Alanza. I was there during the Battle of Britain. It was frightening at first because I would have never expected it to be an aerial attack. Just one look up into the sky and I could see airplanes soaring by and every now and then, paratoops would be descending. There were bombimgs in mainly all the spots that posed a threat. I was in London when it happened, so I was pretty close by one of the bombings. I just hoped that the battle would end soon and that it would all be over.
