If you live in Britain, and also Europe you have every reason to love and respect the men who fought in this battle. Without them it's highly unlikely we wouldn't be here today. The fact remains that due to the actions of these men in the air we are allowed the freedom to enjoy life without oppression and tyranny. God bless every one of them who fought and gave their lives. God bless.

ShaunSydz if someone threatens you would you roll over or fight? If you say the latter then you've proved my point! When the Brits are threatened they rise up as we always have done in history!
@@britbazza3568 Completely agree. It'a just that a lot of people are unaware they're under attack, biologically and psychologically. I feel it's my duty to spread the truth but some are too indoctrinated to listen unfortunately. Just like the movies, evil never wins.
@@SeaNaliCouS96 I assume you criticise the romans, anglo saxons, vikings, hugenots, for coming to ancient britain too? Or are you ignorant of history? Commonwealth troops gave their lives too.
The Battle of Britain was won before the Luftwaffe's first attack. The visionary Lord Trenchard along with his staff including the Immortal Dowding had the advantage of radar, which they embraced as the weapon of the future. As a result, the outnumbered RAF were always ready to intercept the Luftwaffe's attacks on the UK.
It was not won until September, August 18th was the turning point when the Luftwaffe threw everything they had had Fighter Command, Fighter Command suffered 34 planes shot down and 29 further aircraft on the ground were lost, the Luftwaffe lost 71 bombers and fighters, they were the highest daily losses for both sides, but Britain came out on top after this in the war of attrition, radar played a large role in Fighter Command response but many of the radars kept getting disabled from bombing, so it was temporal
Britons, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, French, Dutch, Belgian, Aussies, all sorts of people fought in the Battle of Britain and the amount of people from different backgrounds showed how important Britain was to foreign and domestic people. Absolute Heroes
Just been (again) to the Spitfire and Hurricane Museum at Manston. So amazing to see and touch parts of planes that flew (and, sadly, crashed) in the battle.
The Supermarine Spitfire gets all of the glory but there were a lot more Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain & they did most of the heavy lifting. If there were only Hurricanes the outcome would have been the same. The pilots & the radar are really what won that Battle, in my humble opinion that is.
My grandfather was a mechanic on the ground during the Battle for Britain. His job was to patch holes in the plane as quickly as possible to get men/planes back in the air. He never forgot the importance of this battle or the pilots that died.
Beautiful collection of footage. My grandfather was a Polish mechanic who served with the RAF after his country fell. Truly the greatest generation, lest we forget their gallantry!

You forget one thing, the Hurricanes just were not up to scratch against the 190's and their losses were much higher than the Spitfire. So the Hurricanes went after the bombers whilst the Spitfire went for the Fighters. And the Spitfire only gets the Glory because people see it as the better looking plane. People who really understand the BoB know what the Hurricanes did.
The Hurricane could not have won the battle alone, they were simply inferior to the 109s, they were just used to get the bombers (since we had loads already made), without the spitfire we would defiantly have lost (unless something of a similar calibre was created). However you are very correct about the radar, that was defiantly a decisive factor, and the pilots were also incredible
@@jamest5014 You should check out the official statistics of the Battle of Britain. 60% of the Luftwaffe losses were attributed to the Hurricane, and in fact the Hurricane was also responsible for almost as many 109 kills as the Spitfire. While the 109 was faster and better in the dive than the Hurricane. the Hurricane could out turn both the 109 and the Spitfire. It could also take a lot more punishment than the Spitfire and could be repaired much more quickly than the Spitfire. When the Germans switched the focus away from the airfields of 11 Group and started attacking London, the fatal weakness of the Bf-109 was exposed - it's short range. It's small fuel tank meant that it had fuel enough for ten minutes over London before it had to RTB to refuel. Low on fuel, the 109s faced running the gauntlet of repeated attacks all the way back to the coast. The other factor which lost the battle for the Germans was Goering's order to the 109 pilots to take up closer formation with the bomber stream in the latter weeks of the battle to protect the twin-engine Bf-110, which was proving unable to beat off the RAF fighters. This meant that the 109s lost their advantage of speed and altitude and the Hurricane's advantage in the turn was significant. Radar was important, of course, but the blunder of switching the focus away from bombing the fighter stations in the south-east to bombing London was the real reason the RAF was victorious. Dowding always said that turning on London was the Germans biggest tactical blunder and the fact that they failed to recognise the importance of radar to the British.
Some interesting clips of film I haven’t seen before. Love the solitary flypast by the Hurricane. Seems to be a mix of footage before and after the Battle of Britain though going by the early production Hurricane and Spitfires (A1 roundels on wings) and later FW190s. This is black and white footage which has been colourised rather than actual colour film but great footage. Thanks for sharing.
The spitfires are our guardians of a young RAF without the brave men who gave their lives for Britain 🇬🇧 All those on both sides who gave their lives for their loved ones…your names will never be forgotten❤️
@@engasal Yes we all know, and I am aware that we can't have a post that dares mention 'Spitfire' without multiple posts about the hurricane every single time, but the spitfire was the more efficient fighter. Spits made up only 33% of fighter command but accounted for 45% of victories. If fighter command had just all spitfires the end result would be the same, If they had just Hurricanes I think we would have struggled.
The comments below are 50% undeserved pride in themselves for someone elses achievements. 25% historical comments and 25% people who think it is still 1945. Let us hope a world war never occurs again.
Some of these Spitfires and Hurricanes have grey and green marking that only came out after 15th August 1941 so those shown aren't Battle of Britain.....
Very true, but I'm not convinced about the 'Real Colour' description, I'm pretty sure this is colourised B/W footage. Whoever did it didn't research properly. hence the incorrect colour marking.
Fun fact: the British isles (and many of her colonies) was actually the only allied land which axis combat troops never stood foot on in both world wars. ( for all the Americans wondering, Mexican geurilla fighters actually advanced over the US border during WW1, following the Zimmerman telegram)
@ LengSkeng Yeah, here's a fun fact for ya Lengy me boyo, the British isles being just that, isles, gave the British some advantage, along of course, with their pilots, planes and the Lend Lease Act. 😉🇺🇸
@@vincentxuereb2726 now that’s a fact I didn’t know, well done my friend. I just searched it and it said that it was actually given to the nazis by the jersey council In exchange for no violence on the island. So if class it as a semi invasion, but still very interesting
It seems there was a lot of luck as well as bravery that saved Britain during the battle of Britain. Historians claim the raf was on Its knees when airfield after airfield was put out of action due to enemy bombing. It is also claimed that at this critical point 2 German bombers "accidentally" bombed London. This triggered Churchill to authorise a bombing of Berlin. This incensed Hitler who retaliated by bombing London which led to what was to be known as the blitz. What's really interesting is that if Hitler didn't allow himself to be distracted and remained focused on taking on fighter command most historians believe the Germans would have won. Then he could've moved onto the bombing of London and brought his troops across the channel unchallenged by the raf.....instead the raf regrouped,repaired the airfields and got to continue in the fight whilst Londoners got bombed. It's an ugly truth but without the blitz the raf quite possibly would have lost the battle of Britain. We were on average losing less aircraft than the Luftwaffe but they had a larger airforce. The raf was the first quality airforce the Luftwaffe encountered.....to the Luftwaffes surprise! Haha. The whole battle of Britain story is truly inspirational.
I don't live in England but my grandma did and she used to say with tears in her eyes that London was saved by Sir Winston Churchill and those brave men
Spifire was trash me109 was superior stop believing grandpa lies bro. spit used American 150 octane while the German had 95 octane why? lack of resources. read bro!
garyseeseverything Lol nope, the english pilots were better too. The best german ace was shot down by an english ace with less a third of the experience of the german, in a 1on1 dogfight. Go figure :P

God bless all these great men. Their bravery and courage in the hell that is war to protect their families and country will forever be remebered. We are in your debt. RIP. 🙏🕊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇿🇼
100% this changed the course of the war, but it wasn't as close a call as some people think. The Luftwaffe had only 20 minutes or so over the UK before they had to turn back, because of the fuel it took to get there. The RAF on the other hand could be up individually for hours and could even be back in the air after a bailout within hours, hitching a lift back to Lydd or Biggin Hill or wherever. Add to that the fact that the RAF were better trained, better rested between sorties and potentially had the morale upper hand - home advantage maybe?. If you think about it, it effectively gave the RAF a numerical advantage of 2-3 x that of the Luftwaffe. This isn't to take anything away from the RAF, quite the reverse. The RAF were just too good and too well prepared. Arguably, it couldn't have worked out any other way.
Some of that isn't Battle for Britain footage as by then had moved off of Fixed two bladed wooden propellers as they found with the BEF seriously limited performance

With that Two Steps From Hell soundtrack, in my mind the Battle of Britain soon turned into a battle of good vs evil. Like God's angels vs Satan's demons in the skies. I only pray we don't have to face a third.
I really wish they had music like this back in the 50s through 70s. It would have been amazing to have the dramatic, orchestral music in movies like Battle of Britain and The Enemy Below. Those were great movies, but the music was so campy back then.

If you knock the playback speed to 0.75 it shows the film more realistically
Lest we forget👍

With that Two Steps From Hell soundtrack, in my mind the Battle of Britain soon turned into a battle of good vs evil.
Like God's angels vs Satan's demons in the skies. I only pray we don't have to face a third.
I really wish they had music like this back in the 50s through 70s. It would have been amazing to have the dramatic, orchestral music in movies like Battle of Britain and The Enemy Below. Those were great movies, but the music was so campy back then.
Same
Could do without the music ...the images would speak for themselves .
I like the music. I think it fits perfectly.

The music makes me feel more proud to be British for some reason
@christopher nolan should get a screenwriting of battle of britain and give us a hell of a movie.
What's the difference between a Spitfire and a Hurricane?
Spitfire faster and more maneuverability
Im pretty sure I wouldn't evan be here if it weren't for the spitfire and the RAF pilots who flew them.
These are the people i most idolize and honor.
Wow spitfire and hurraicns

This video is even perfect is your are listening to Aces High by iron maiden
Very heroic of the British un believe winners we only had 500 pLqnes

Why music? Why?
This was not all Battle of Britain. There was plenty of pre and post battle footage.
Why we need super tucano when we have legendary spitfire
