Hunter c'mon really where do you get your information read Ginger Lacy's autobiography for one. That should give you some idea on how tight they really were.
There is several great threads on the BoB here, the Germans were never even close to winning the BoB. Also they never could of won the battle even if their navy got involved. Go read those threads and you will understand. Germans never would of won it in 39-40 with the weapons and numbers involved during that period.
Honestly i read some Americans saying back there at the start of the thread that Germany's first mistake was declaring war on the states. Rubbish in my opinion Germanys biggest mistake was not finishing the Battle of Britian. The English were stretched so tight with their airforce that another couple of moths at the most would have broken them and then with Uk subdued they would be free to concentrate their might on Russia who without the Atlantic convoys would have been up s**t creek would have been beaten and then Germany and Japan would have been free to take on the states. And don't say that they would not have fallen becuase at the time and indeed through out most of the war Germany was the leader with reguard to technologicial advances and the japs had the determination and the numbers and without scientist like Albert Einstine who was flown out to the states there would have been no A bomb...
Ok this thing has got a few holes in it
1) The home guard in the bob were being trained to use pitch forks and shovels for weapons as there was a critical shortage of rifles and indeed almost everything due to dunkirk where all the equiptment was left behinde after being destroyed by the british themselves so the germans could not have it. The british therefore had little arms and armour in the way of armies.
sure they might have been one of the forerunners in navies at the time and maybe they did have an airforce that had so far taken everything the Germans could throw at it but i maintain that the BOB would have been lost if the germans had have kept up their air attacks...
Ihowever i was just pointing out the if the Germans had managed to gain air superiorty wich they narrowly missed out on due to
