The victorious Luftwaffe stood
on the English Channel, fresh, rested, and above all supremely
confident. In the past year it had destroyed the Air Forces of
Poland, Holland, Denmark, Norway and the combined forces of England
and France over the Continent. It was true that the Kampflieger
had suffered serious losses at the hands of defending French
& British Fighters, but these bomber units had been quickly
re-equipped. As the end of Summer approached, the Luftwaffe stood
ready to bring England to her knees, the Battle of Britain was
about to begin. - Signed by the artist. |
