About six weeks after skirmishes began in this battle, it was stepped up on what the Germans called Adlertag, or Eagle Day. Germany's enemies considered it successful because it led to the cancellation of Operation Sealion.

That Prime Minister, who said of this battle that, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," was Winston Churchill.
