(Prelude) On the moonlight night of September 28, 1939, four weeks after a vast German army, swarms of panzer ranks, and waves of screaming warplanes fell on Poland like wolves on sheep, Lieutenant General Sir Alan Brooke crossed the English Channel on a camouflaged Belfast ferry with a flock of green recruits.
After the fall of France, baffled by Churchill's refusal to consider a favorable peace in what Hitler called Britain's "militarily hopeless situation", the Führer ordered the Luftwaffe to deplete the RAF and win air superiority over the Channel, a precondition to invasion.
