....and as always, the contribution of Bomber Command during this period is completely ignored. The Battle of the Barges resulted in the Germans withdrawing their invasion barges from the Channel ports before the end of the battle thus delaying any invasion attempt - the Germans bringing the Barges back to within range would have signalled the start of the invasion. Over 700 aircrew of Bomber Command died during this period However, everyone believes the film rather than history. Hey Ho.
