arndt writes Britain won the BoB because Churchill bombed Berlin and spoofed Adolf into diverting the the airfield assaults onto London. EOS. Grantland Let me add that it was a lone German bomber that ditched its bombs over London that caused the British reprisal raid on Berlin and change of tactics that: relieved Fighter Command, enabled the airfields and manufacturing plants to be repaired, and assured the Brits that the German battle for air supremacy would fail now that civilian targets were being hit instead of military ones. EOS indeed! The story I found said that it was a lone bomber, aiming for one of the Kent airfields, which decided to approach from the north-east over London. They spotted Croydon and misidentified it as Biggin Hill(?) and unloaded. Croydon was in the London area. Mike -- M.J.Powell |
