Battle of Britain Scenario 4: Kanalkampf. 13th July 1940
From July to August 1940 the Luftwaffe launched an increasingly powerful succession of probing attacks against British shipping in the Channel and coastal targets. This was the ‘Kanalkampf’, the first phase of the Battle of Britain. It was a heads we win, tails you lose plan. If the British fighters defended shipping in the Channel they would be shot down en mass. If they did not then soon Britain would not be able to sustain heavy shipping losses.
