Germany did not lose the Battle of Britain

[Pike]

Dear All,
Another point that has not been considered is the effect of morale. The fact that the British Isles 'held out' against the German might, considering that Poland Denmark Holland Norway Belgium and France had all succumbed must have given some comfort and hope to the resistance fighters. (There was a similar situation that arose with the Island of Malta) It also bought the world time to prepare and consider what to do next. Once the US got involved, Britain was a base to attack and supply from. Equally for the Germans the possibility that the war would continue on probably for years near the borders as with WWI, must have been little comfort to the German high command.
Best regards,
