Her forces driven off the continent, many rescued from capture at Dunkirk, only the Royal Air Force, supported by the country’s newly established radar system, now stood in the way of the country being invaded. Herman Goering had promised his Fuhrer his air force would sweep the British skies of all opposition to allow Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of southern England, to commence. The intense aerial combat over the coming months across the English Channel and the countryside of southeast England would not reflect the optimism of Nazi propaganda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResearching and blending a diverse range of primary sources together, including Luftwaffe air crews’ personal letters and diaries, with official combat reports and contemporary German newspapers, Victoria Taylor weaves a rich, multifaceted tapestry of the military, political, social, and cultural influences that shaped the German air force’s mentality and morale during the Battle of Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEagle Days\u003c\/em\u003e transforms the Luftwaffe’s historical role during the RAF’s ‘Finest Hour’ from a cartoonish antagonist to a multidimensional, flawed-yet-formidable opponent.
