About 1940

Between 1939 and 1945 Britain was at war with Germany. In 1940 Germany was winning.

The Luftwaffe (the German air force) was regularly bombing civilian targets around the country: London was attacked for 57 nights in a row.

The British army and their French and Canadian allies had to be evacuated from the beach at Dunkirk in France. Hitler's armies were getting ready to cross the channel and things did not look good for the people of Britain. But then, in the same year, Winston Churchill took over as Prime Minister and the Royal Air Force managed to hold out against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain.
