Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Tuearts right boot]

A prick on France 24 saying sadly the UK doesn't gather intelligence any more, the fucking American Twat

Maybe he's been told to say that. Oh the subterfuge.

Prior to the blitz the Luftwaffe had focused on the ports, control of the English Channel and the airfields in the south of UK. These incessant raids nearly crippled the RAF airfields in the south, there was a real danger the RAF would have to retreat out of range giving the Germans air superiority over the invasion landing zones. A German bombing raid got lost and mistakenly bombed London, Churchill retaliated by ordering the RAF to bomb Berlin. Hitler flew into a rage at this and the blitz started as he ordered a shift to the cities. With the bombers focusing on the cities the airfields remained operational and the rest is history.

How different history might have turned out if those German bombers hadn’t got lost or had Hitler not lost his shit.

Iirc didn’t Hitler or his regime underestimate the strength of the RAF at that time ?
Also the system of defence and Radar helped too.

I’ve been at a fundraiser in Knaresborough tonight for Harrogate Blue, Bob Frendt’s, 7th trip with aid to the Ukraine. At least half the audience were Ukrainian refugees.

City and others have been incredibly generous, with the Club donating four boxes of junior kits for the children’s hospital in UKraine.
