The Battle of Britain, 75th Anniversary
Herbert Mason's iconic photograph of St Paul's dome emerging from the smoke of raging fires in surrounding streets was taken 70 years ago.
On the night of December 29, 1940, ­Daily Mail chief photographer ­Herbert Mason was ­firewatching on the roof of the ­newspaper’s offices ­between Fleet Street and the Thames.
The Luftwaffe’s blitz on London was at its height: after a brief pause decreed by Hitler on Christmas Day, Goering’s bombers had resumed their almost nightly pounding of the capital.
A brief attack on December 27 inflicted 600 casualties, more than 50 of them in a single public ­shelter in Southwark which received a direct hit.

Timeline of key events
Hitler plans the invasion of Britain
On 18 June 1940, Churchill gave a rousing speech to the British
people, announcing: "... the Battle of France is over. The Battle of
Britain is about to begin." Four days later, France surrendered to
Germany and Hitler turned his attention to Britain.
German air superiority in the south of England was essential before
Hitler could contemplate an invasion so Hermann Goering, the head
of the Luftwaffe, was instructed that the RAF must be "beaten down
to such an extent that it can no longer muster any power of attack
worth mentioning against the German crossing".
British and German aeroplanes
The Luftwaffe's principal fighter planes were the Messerschmitt
Bf109 and the Messerschmitt Bf110. It had a number of
favoured bombers: the Dornier 17, the Junkers Ju88, the
Heinkel 111, and the Junkers Ju87 (also known as the 'Stuka'
from Sturzkampfflugzeug, the German word for dive bomber).
The RAF had the high-performance Hawker Hurricane and
Supermarine Spitfire fighters.
Although on paper the Luftwaffe appeared to have the
advantage in numbers of planes, pilots and experience, the
two air forces were, in fact, evenly matched. The short range of
the German planes and the fact they were fighting over enemy
territory were both serious disadvantages for the Luftwaffe.
The RAF also had radar, a priceless tool for detecting enemy
raids.
The battle begins
The battle began in mid-July and, initially, the Luftwaffe concentrated
on attacking shipping in the English Channel and attacking coastal
towns and defences. From 12 August, Goering shifted his focus to
the destruction of the RAF, attacking airfields and radar bases.
Convinced that Fighter Command was now close to defeat, he also
tried to force air battles between fighter planes to definitively break
British strength.
However, Goering grew frustrated by the large number of British
planes that were still fighting off his attacks. On 4 September, the
Luftwaffe switched tactics again and, on Hitler's orders, set about
destroying London and other major cities.
Eleven days later, on what became known as 'Battle of Britain Day',
the RAF savaged the huge incoming Luftwaffe formations in the
skies above London and the south coast.
The invasion is postponed
It was now clear to Hitler that his air force had failed to gain air
superiority so, on 17 September, he postponed his plans to invade
Britain. His attention was now focused on the invasion of the Soviet
Union, although the Luftwaffe continued to bomb Britain until the end
of the war.
Germany advances through Europe September 1939 ­ May 1940.
Between September 1939 and May 1940, Nazi Germany vanquished country after country across Europe. By the summer of 1940, Hitler had conquered the continent and Britain stood
alone.

Churchill becomes Prime Minister. 10 May 1940
Friday 10 May 1940 was one of the most dramatic days in British history. The government was in disarray as Winston Churchill became PM and, on the continent, Germany ended the
Phoney War by invading the Low Countries.

Britain retreats from France. 26 May ­ 4 June 1940
Allied forces retreated from the German advance through north­western Europe, and fell back to the Channel ports of France where they were trapped. Their rescue was codenamed
Operation Dynamo and, against all odds, thousands of men were dramatically evacuated in the "miracle of Dunkirk".
Photo: British soldiers shoot at attacking aircraft during the evacuation, June 1940. (Getty Images)
Churchill decides to fight on May 1940
In late May, against the backdrop of the Dunkirk evacuation and the unstoppable German advance, Churchill disregarded calls for peace talks with Hitler. Britain would fight on, he
ordered.

Hitler plans the invasion of Britain July 1940
After the invasion and defeat of France in June 1940, Hitler turned his attention to the invasion of Britain, the last country in Western Europe to stand against him.

Germany bombs British towns and cities July ­ August 1940
The Luftwaffe carried out raids on British urban targets for two months prior to the start of the Blitz, with the loss of over 1,000 civilian lives.

Germany bombs British coastal airfields 11 July ­18 August 1940
The first phase of the Battle of Britain focused on the English Channel, where the Luftwaffe attacked convoys and English ports.

Germany attacks RAF Fighter Command 24 August ­ 4 September 1940
From mid­August, as the Battle of the Channel faded, the Luftwaffe stepped up attacks on RAF infrastructure. These intense raids almost overwhelmed the British air force.

Britain bombs Berlin 25­28 August 1940
On 25 August 1940, the RAF launched its first raid on Berlin in retaliation for the German bombing of London the previous day.

Germany bombs London 7-15 September 1940
On 7 September 1940, the Luftwaffe unleashed a merciless bombing campaign against London and Britain's major cities. Instead of breaking morale, however, the raids only galvanised
the will of the British people for the rest of the war.

Battle of Britain Day 15 September 1940
The most decisive confrontation of the Battle of Britain took place in the skies above London on 15 September.

He was killed in combat 2 years later. (IWM CH1366)
Hitler postpones the invasion of Britain 17 September 1940
The RAF had denied the Luftwaffe air superiority over the south of England. Now Hitler could not invade Britain and, on 17 September 1940, he postponed Operation Sealion.

The Battle of Britain, 75th Anniversary

  • 2. Herbert Mason's iconic photograph of St Paul's dome emerging from the smoke of raging fires in surrounding streets was taken 70 years ago. On the night of December 29, 1940, ­Daily Mail chief photographer ­Herbert Mason was ­firewatching on the roof of the ­newspaper’s offices ­between Fleet Street and the Thames. The Luftwaffe’s blitz on London was at its height: after a brief pause decreed by Hitler on Christmas Day, Goering’s bombers had resumed their almost nightly pounding of the capital. A brief attack on December 27 inflicted 600 casualties, more than 50 of them in a single public ­shelter in Southwark which received a direct hit.

  • 10. Timeline of key events
  • 11. Hitler plans the invasion of Britain On 18 June 1940, Churchill gave a rousing speech to the British people, announcing: "... the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin." Four days later, France surrendered to Germany and Hitler turned his attention to Britain. German air superiority in the south of England was essential before Hitler could contemplate an invasion so Hermann Goering, the head of the Luftwaffe, was instructed that the RAF must be "beaten down to such an extent that it can no longer muster any power of attack worth mentioning against the German crossing".
  • 12. British and German aeroplanes The Luftwaffe's principal fighter planes were the Messerschmitt Bf109 and the Messerschmitt Bf110. It had a number of favoured bombers: the Dornier 17, the Junkers Ju88, the Heinkel 111, and the Junkers Ju87 (also known as the 'Stuka' from Sturzkampfflugzeug, the German word for dive bomber). The RAF had the high-performance Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire fighters. Although on paper the Luftwaffe appeared to have the advantage in numbers of planes, pilots and experience, the two air forces were, in fact, evenly matched. The short range of the German planes and the fact they were fighting over enemy territory were both serious disadvantages for the Luftwaffe. The RAF also had radar, a priceless tool for detecting enemy raids.
  • 13. The battle begins The battle began in mid-July and, initially, the Luftwaffe concentrated on attacking shipping in the English Channel and attacking coastal towns and defences. From 12 August, Goering shifted his focus to the destruction of the RAF, attacking airfields and radar bases. Convinced that Fighter Command was now close to defeat, he also tried to force air battles between fighter planes to definitively break British strength. However, Goering grew frustrated by the large number of British planes that were still fighting off his attacks. On 4 September, the Luftwaffe switched tactics again and, on Hitler's orders, set about destroying London and other major cities. Eleven days later, on what became known as 'Battle of Britain Day', the RAF savaged the huge incoming Luftwaffe formations in the skies above London and the south coast.
  • 14. The invasion is postponed It was now clear to Hitler that his air force had failed to gain air superiority so, on 17 September, he postponed his plans to invade Britain. His attention was now focused on the invasion of the Soviet Union, although the Luftwaffe continued to bomb Britain until the end of the war.
  • 15. Germany advances through Europe September 1939 ­ May 1940. Between September 1939 and May 1940, Nazi Germany vanquished country after country across Europe. By the summer of 1940, Hitler had conquered the continent and Britain stood alone. Photo: Messerschmitt Me 110s fly over the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, 1940. (akg­images)
  • 16. Churchill becomes Prime Minister. 10 May 1940 Friday 10 May 1940 was one of the most dramatic days in British history. The government was in disarray as Winston Churchill became PM and, on the continent, Germany ended the Phoney War by invading the Low Countries. Photo: Churchill leaving Downing St with Sir Kingsley Wood and Anthony Eden, 10 May 1940. (Getty Images)
  • 17. Britain retreats from France. 26 May ­ 4 June 1940 Allied forces retreated from the German advance through north­western Europe, and fell back to the Channel ports of France where they were trapped. Their rescue was codenamed Operation Dynamo and, against all odds, thousands of men were dramatically evacuated in the "miracle of Dunkirk". Photo: British soldiers shoot at attacking aircraft during the evacuation, June 1940. (Getty Images)
  • 18. Churchill decides to fight on May 1940 In late May, against the backdrop of the Dunkirk evacuation and the unstoppable German advance, Churchill disregarded calls for peace talks with Hitler. Britain would fight on, he ordered. Photo: Churchill examines a Tommy gun during an inspection of invasion defences near Hartlepool, 31 July 1940. (IWM H2646)
  • 19. Hitler plans the invasion of Britain July 1940 After the invasion and defeat of France in June 1940, Hitler turned his attention to the invasion of Britain, the last country in Western Europe to stand against him. Photo: Hitler giving his 'Last Appeal to Reason' speech to the German Reichstag at the Kroll Opera House in Berlin, 19 July 1940. (akg­images/Ullstein Bild)
  • 20. Germany bombs British towns and cities July ­ August 1940 The Luftwaffe carried out raids on British urban targets for two months prior to the start of the Blitz, with the loss of over 1,000 civilian lives. Photo: Stukas in formation in April 1940. Stukas terrorised servicemen and civilians across Europe. They were withdrawn from the Battle of Britain in mid­August after being savaged by the RAF's Hawker Hurricanes. (Getty Images)
  • 21. Germany bombs British coastal airfields 11 July ­18 August 1940 The first phase of the Battle of Britain focused on the English Channel, where the Luftwaffe attacked convoys and English ports.
