The Battle of Britain Was The First Defeat For The German Luftwaffe.

if a tiger is fighting a cat, and at some point the tiger has to go away because he has to pee, that doesn't mean the cat won the fight.. right?!!

Well it depends why they were fighting. If the cat has territory that the tiger wants, so the tiger attacks the cat, but fails to make the cat go away and instead gets cut up badly, so the tiger goes for a pee and when it comes back it still can't remove the cat, then the tiger lost. Trying to compare the Luftwaffe's inability to win the battle with either a tiger needing a pee or your mates deciding they can't continue a game of football is embarrassing.

But go ahead, call it a THE GREATEST VICTORY EVER for my part.

Truth is.. brits always need their big thug nephews help to get our from the mess they've got themselves into (think any other WWII brit operations). Kind of like the italians

This shows your bias. This isn't about whether Britain are any good at anything or not, it simply a discussion about one battle and whether it was won or not. It doesn't matter who helped whom, who got lucky, who made the wrong decisions, who was commit elsewhere at the same time, simply a case of what the objectives were and whether they were met. But you want to turn it into a willy waving contest. You think that the Brits got themselves into a mess because they didn't sit by and watch Germany take over Europe? What nonsense.

But they were great warriors, and look, they won BoB.. Of course they did, otherwise.. what else would have they to celebrate?!!

We don't need to celebrate anything, but if you asked us what we could celebrate from WWII, then we'd say we celebrate VE day, not the Battle of Britain,d we don' and celebrate VE day thinking we were special or we did anything on our own, we celebrate because the Nazis were stopped and we have freedom thanks to many allies.

Using another analogy, is like trying to get away from him the only rotten bone a skinny dog ever had.. of course he'll jump to bite you for trying to get his only reason for life away from him.

What? You think that the BoB is Britains rotten bone, our only reason for life? You are completely deluded. Most British people don't care a jot about the BoB, most British people don't think of the war except when they're remined on remembrance day. You are so far from reality it's shocking. Take a clip board and go interview some Brits and ask them what they think Britains greatest achievements are - I bet you won't find one single person that says the BoB, because while it was an important victory, it was just one battle in a long history.
