Just four months after the conclusive French defeat in June, resistance in Western Europe is now completely demolished.

The Luftwaffe’s grueling attacks on Royal Air Force bases during the summer months decisively paved the way for the defeat of the RAF, which was considered absolute in late October at the Battle of Britain. Once air supremacy had been achieved it was only a small step for the Fuhrer and his strategists to successfully complete Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain. The Wehrmacht swept through small pockets of British resistance still demoralized by the tragic events at Dunkirk and unable to prevent the invasion. After a mere 48 hours, the Oberkommando des Heeres announced the occupation of London.

During these crucial months of war, Great Britain lacked the charismatic and strong political leadership needed to inspire the British people with new hope. Chamberlain, having singularly failed to rally his people towards resistance, formally surendered to the Chancellor of the Reich at Westminster.

Now nothing stands in the way of the German aggressors’ expansionist drive towards the East. Following the formal surrender, a puppet government controlled from Berlin is expected to be installed in London soon.
