When a distant attacker gives up attacking, you can always pretend that they did so because they got bored, needed a pee, had something else to do. Defining whether they were 'forced to give up' is not a simple task. The Luftwaffe could not afford the losses they were sustaining over Britain, so they pretty much were forced to give up, but as long as they had one aircraft left you would argue that they could have carried on if they weren't so desperate for the toilet.
All of the facts are completely against you, but you think we disagree because this is Britains claim to fame. We're not suggesting that you think it's a draw because poor Germany couldn't handle the thought of losing a battle against Britain, that would be equally daft. I don't understand why you can't see the facts. What to the Americans, Japanese, Dutch etc think?
