Two Historical Events
 

That I might have posted about, except for the cracking attempt. Anyway the two are both WW-II related.

80 Years ago today, a few days late:
15 September is recognized at the Battle of Britain Day. It marks the largest one-day series of air raids on Britain, as the Nazis attempted to bomb the UK into submissions in 1940. It was also the first very clear-cut victory of the defenders, even if the margin wasn't as big as claimed at the time: https://www.alamy.com/battle-of-bri...e268824065.html

80 Years ago today, one day late:
Due to the Luftwaffe's failure to knock out the RAF during the Battle of Britain (which actually lasted from early July to early November, including "The Blitz"), Unternehmen Seelöwe-operation Sealion, the planned invasion of England-was indefinitely postponed. Nazi Germany never came closee to mounting such a threat again.

As Winston Churchill said:
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."

I close with a personal salute to those "few".

I join you in that salute.

thanks to gg..... the hope we never forget.
 

Ditto the above ……...Thank you to all!! :)
