I love documentaries made like this, narrated, historical footage, no talking heads repeating what the narrator just said, no contemporary investigative “reality tv” interrupting the flow, just old fashion documentary, perfect.
-
The invention of radar was truly a remarkable invention.
-
"It would have been faster for a German Commander to ring Bletchly to get his orders" is one of the funniest lines I've heard in a long time. Love British humour.
-
I also love these docs, they show the actual footage . Much respect to all of the brave men who filmed these dangerous times.
-
This series is one of the best for WW2, I watch it at least twice a year. I fall asleep to these 😂😂 am i insane? Maybe

London Heathrow: Border Controll Officer asks: "Occupation?" German tourist answers: "No, just visiting."
-
When I was in the US Navy I was stationed at RAF Edzell. I lived in Brechin on a street named after Watson-Watt.
-
this is my favorite series, I love the intro.
-
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
-
I've always known about Bletchley Park's part in the cracking of the Enigma code, but never known about the brilliant, essential Polish groundwork which provided the foundation for that achievement. Fantastic, all of you.

Some historians, such as David Holland, state that the RAF actually had more than 700 fighters as of August 1940. England was also significantly out producing Germany in fighters. Under Lord Beaverbrook, they also developed an excellent fighter repair program. Dowding was actually more worried about the number of rested and healthy pilots than about the number of RAF fighters.

This is a great documentary, wish I found this channel sooner.

There is one reason why we germans did not invade Britain. We did not have the capacity to do so. We lacked the transport capacity and the naval strenght to block the channel. We could not have used "little ships" to invade Britain cause the little ships could not transport heavy equipment and therefore an invasion was an illusionary plan.

Thank you War Stories. ALWAYS looking forward to your new episodes with eager anticipation!

Churchills speech still makes me shiver today .... Be the best 🇬🇧

This is very well done.I had a number of relatives who were in the military in WWII. I even had an uncle in the Marines who met his wife,an Australian female soldier during the fighting.They had each other's back for the rest of their lives.❤😢

Excellent Vid. Thanks for the upload.

This the great, the colour in so well done. I hate the fact that the two men who did the most to win the Battle of Britain, Sir Hugh Dowding and Keith Park were stabbed in the back by Trafford Leigh-Mallory and Douglas Bader. Their "Big Wing" tactics were grossly over exaggerated both men lied to get Dowding and Park fired and succeeded. The Big Wing when used in 1941 resulted in the greatest loss of RAF fighter pilots in the whole war.
