Valuable trained men were saved,
..but the crews to Gring's planes,
were lost to him forever.
The pace was too hot.
Something was going haywire.
The Nazis had to call "timeout".
On a 2000 mile front, from Norway to France,
..the whole Nazi blitz program was being stalled,
because the RAF was still in the air.
The long-range German guns were getting hot,
..from throwing shells across the channel.
In public, Hitler assured the Germans,
Mr. Churchill tells his people
that England will win...
..but I tell you victory
will belong to Germany"
But in private, he sent for Gring,
the boss of the Luftwaffe,
and put him on the hot seat.
Gring was told to do something
and do it quick.
So on August 30th, he ordered all out attacks on
inland air drones and industrial centers.
Maybe he could knock out the RAF on the assembly

the watchers on the cliffs.
Four, five and six miles above, the battles raged over
the Dover area.
The Dover area became known as Hell's Corner.
By sheer weigh of numbers, the enemy again and
again broke through the coastal defenses.
And reached inland to the air drone.
Aircraft plants.
Munitions, factories and machine shops.
Hello, gunfire in the southeast. Right."
But the workers kept on working.
And the RAF kept on flying.
These few men with wings, alone in the sky
..behind their motors and machine guns,
..were shooting down more than the Luftwaffe.
They were smashing the whole Nazi plan
of world conquest.
Any claims Johnny??'
109 destroyed, yes."
-"Oh, good show!"
How did you get on sir??'
-"Oh, I had a wonderful party, thanks."
Are you all right?. Have you hit any of the batters??'
-"Yes, I got a Messerschmitt 109."
Between August 24th and September 5,
