Not only that, but it's not correct.
The reason the Brits won, and Germany lost was because Hitler decided to concentrate on the cities and towns rather the AIRFIELDS! like was originally planned. If Hitler had continued his bombing of the British airfields, the RAF would have ceased to be a threat to the Luftwaffe or Germany ground forces; giving them the chance to invade.
In the book,
Duel of Eagles by Peter Townsend, who was a British fighter pilot during the Battle of Britain. He explains the whole Summer of 1940 campaign, and how if Hitler had kept his concentration on the airfields, then Britain for sure would have been invaded.
So Radar did not win the Battle of Britain by any means.
