By the time Der Fuhrer threw in the towel, the RAF hadn't
so much "won" the Battle of Britain as the Luftwaffe LOST it:
Pretty much. The Luftwaffe needed a decisive victory, could not obtain it,
and wasted a lot of aircraft and crews proving that. That happened
because they were too confident of victory, didn't prepare properly, and
didn't understand that they were up against the world's first integrated
air defence system.
