on one day in september 1940 the battle of britain reached its decisive moment throughout the summer months britain's fighter command had fought a desperate battle against the luftwaffe as far as the planes were concerned we'd never seen anything like it it was just awesome it was they were overhead there were masses of them they'd only got to come across the water and they were here everybody was in the front line the civilians were in the front line beneath the battle-ridden skies people from all walks of life became involved in the defense of britain age situation or circumstance was no barrier it was a time that this country was actually welded together with one aim in mind to defeat the aggressor each day they face the grim realities of war the next thing he said i know i was standing on me on the other mans on the floor have been bumped to me as a child it seemed extraordinary fun and then i glanced to the right and i saw this huge formation of spitfires and hurricanes making their way directly towards the formation of the bombers and it was just unbelievable to see so many aircraft never seen so many aircraft one day of dramatic aerial combat would now decide the fate of the nation the role of the luffa during the battle of britain was to destroy fighter command to gain air superiority to enable the invasion to take place to occupy britain or to forces out of the wall on nazi terms [Music] this is the story of that day the 15th of september 1940 and 13 hours that saved britain [Music] hitler's nazi germany dominates europe his armed forces have swept across the continent crushing all opposition of his enemies only britain remains undefeated the rest of europe was either enthrall to nazi germany or had been conquered poland denmark norway france belgium holland luxembourg these countries had fallen so germany was at the peak of his powers hermann goering head of the luckwaffer believes that attacks by german air force alone can bring britain to its knees he has promised the fuhrer that the royal air force will be swept from the skies the german air force had concentrated on the royal air force both in the air and on the ground the fighter airfields the germans were flying what they term free hunts 150 fighters sweeping over southern britain hunting out the hurricanes and spitfires and instruction went out to our pilots not to engage these fighters unless they were escorting bombers so the myth started to grow that the royal air force was being depleted and defeated the following events take place between 6 30 a.m and 7 30 pm 13 hours that proved a turning point in the war with germany 6 34 am sunday dawns for a country that has lived in fear of invasion for more than three months we had the germans knocking at the door if the air force had been overwhelmed they would have been in london within a week or so we couldn't have stopped it when france fell we didn't think we had a chance i mean they'd only got to come across the water and they were here we were very conscious of the fact that if we lost it i won't say the game was up but the battle the war would have been fought on our territory i think to any outside observer you'd think well how can that small country survive against this might organize might i said this old soldier tell me what are we going to do if the germans come he says the germans come son you will do what you're told our sort of captain mannering captain was replaced and he used to finish each parade before i dismiss you remember boys take notes prisoners shoot the bastards and your motto is kill the bosh and then he'd go with his revolver kill kill kill it encapsulates the exact attitude of the british people at that time britain's air defense network prepares itself for the 13 hours ahead the air defense of great britain was divided up into four fighter groups 10 group covering the southwest 11th group london and the south east 12th group the midlands east coast and number 13 group defending parts of the northeast scotland and northern ireland [Music] as the day begins one squadron from each sector is brought to readiness the integrated air defense of the united kingdom is all down to the foresight of cehu dowding when he took over fighter command he reorganized the air defense of the united kingdom into the group system the germans had nothing like it and in fact they just did not realize what they were up against 802 am a lone german heinkel bomber on a weather reconnaissance flight flies westward along the english channel out of range of british fighters its progress is monitored by an innovation that is the cornerstone of dowding's air defense system we had radar which of course gave us eyes into the continent so we could see the build-up of aircraft and we could see the aircraft coming across towards the uk this would give us time to get the aircraft up off the ground and into position to meet any given threat this information would go from the radar stations to headquarters fighter command it was filtered past their operations room and then passed direct to the group they would place the plots on the table and these are being tracked in by radar ch radar was entirely in the business of defense in other words picking up bombers for at 90 miles range before they ever started crossing the channel and heading in our direction they were seen on the screen the moment they got up in the air the course flown by the learn heinkel eventually brings it within range of british fighters the controller of the day would watch this he would then alert whichever sector station he wanted the sector controller's job was to get his aircraft off the ground to vector them towards the enemy formations the sector controller scrambles two hurricanes from exeter to intercept the intruder [Music] [Music] none of its five-man crew survives they are the first casualties of the day for the people of southeast england increasingly accustomed to living in the shadow of war it's a sunday morning like many others but it will not be a day of rest for many put up picking his round again and the family is sitting out knowledge pilgrimage to the green fields of kent for some children it is the start of another day of a working holiday in the countryside far from the dangers of war we should go to hot pick on the same farm every year in september now it was traditional to wait for we used to have two notifications about ten days before we actually went when mum and dad used to get a car saying we booked a billion hub for you because she was agriculture workers that that time 1940 you got extra rations summer term of 1940 attending dartford junior technical college and a notice came round asking for volunteers to go fruit picking in the coming autumn um apparently um all accommodation food would be provided free of charge and we'd be paid for the for the work we did in the east end of london mary sterry is looking forward to a big family occasion my uncle was getting married we didn't know the girl he was getting married but we were told that she was a young actress we had been invited to the wedding my father all us kids the one getting married uncle tom was only um was younger than my dad and they didn't want us to go today but we went herbert hurry is getting ready to join his workmates for a fundraising football match i played a lot of football and uh every time i played on one of two decent grounds but uh they knew that at work and that but my foreman was a decent type and he said if you clean my car i let you off to play football we used to play down by world scrubs and i attract a thousand people on the sunday nine a.m [Music] while london stares into life at bases in occupied france luftwaffe aircrews prepare their aircraft for a major attack one they expect to be decisive there was a meeting in the hague in holland headed by hermann guri at this meeting the state of the royal air force in particular fighter command was discussed german pilots were going back claiming maybe they shot down 10 20 hurricanes and spitfires in reality only five the germans believed that the royal air force was now on the verge of defeat and they mounted two major raids 10 30 am britain's air defenses are on full alert but now air vice marshal keith park commander of 11 group receives unexpected news prime minister winston churchill has chosen today to visit 11 groups command center in full view of the controller here at uxbridge he could see the german forces assembling over the continent before they crossed the channel churchill watches markers appear on the table indicating a build up of german bomber squadrons making their way to rendezvous points over the french coast starting from a few aircraft coming over the or near england in the south and east coast to suddenly having to put up 250 plus was very very scary because you couldn't imagine that many aeroplanes coming over and were we going to survive [Music] 11 05 a.m two squadrons of spitfires from eleven group are scrambled from biggen hill climbing fast they set course for their allotted patrol area 25 000 feet above canterbury the system swings into action as parks controllers scramble more squadrons somebody would tell you that there were 200 plus 100 plus 50 plus coming over a raid did build up well like a thunderstorm the luftwaffe formations comprising more than 200 aircraft wheel towards england their target london their course will take them over the farms and fields of kent or neighbor to me your mother's calling you albert so i think she wanted me to carry something back to the huts as i walked back to the huts we heard a heavy drone of aircraft the weather was fine clear skies nice autumn days and then then after that it all happened the aircraft of fighter command are about to be drawn into a major battle above the garden of england the fate of the nation hangs upon its outcome 11 36 a.m 15th of september 1940. luftwaffe formations cross the english coast at foxton the only opposition they meet is anti-aircraft fire from the ground reinforcing their belief that the royal air force is on the verge of defeat and london is exposed to attack civilians in kent have a ringside seat for the tumultuous events that follow that they weren't dropping bombs they were just flying steadily not speeding like they do today just steadily masses of them flying inland sitting alone in his garden graham matthews watches almost 200 enemy aircraft cross the skies of kent i was in this garden in fact i was sitting on the steps right behind me here when i heard the german bombers coming over and i could see this column of german planes they were flying into these big puffs of fleck put up by the anti-aircraft guns once the enemy aircraft had crossed the coastline radar was technically redundant so it was the observer core simply by looking to a rangefinder binoculars identified the aircraft height direction and number feeding that information back to an observer center and from that center simultaneously to the command sector and to group having got your plots it was then up to the controller to say what you wanted done with them when there was a battle on you would plot your plots and you could see the combat kind of becoming narrower information on the raiders progress is relayed to raf fighter squadrons [Music] when you hear the sirens or anti-aircraft guns you must get undercover at once you must not stand staring up at the sky the siren went and of course as a six-year-old i thought this is it war war so i zoomed out to the front door and stood there waiting to see all the soldiers with their guns and firing and shooting and sword fighting and all that nothing most people went to the underground or if they they had the lanson sort of shelter the tin placed in in the bottom of the garden my next door neighbor he'd dug a hole underneath his garage if i was at home i'd go down there and shelter above canterbury patrolling spitfires of 92 and 72 squadrons have spotted the enemy formations and dive into attack [Music] along with other children ray binks has been sent from london to the safety of rural kent but he soon discovered that the front line of the aerial battle now runs through the fields and villages of southern england we were watching all these air battles going on and all of a sudden from across the trees was this german bomber came across so low that you felt you needed to duck and behind it was one of our fighter aircraft then they were both having to go each other and the engagement initially only lasted a couple of seconds and then you would then break away and then attack them individually again until either you were out of ammunition or for one reason other you weren't able to attack anything more british fighter squadrons join the action our boys were coming out of the sky and shooting them up and they were going up and there was these vapor trails you had vapor trails all over the sky it was just like an eastwork pattern so here the roar of the engines and the stutter of the the guns and uh screaming we're screaming at the engines really you would see the smoke start pouring out of one and then those plummets to the ground drawing nearer to london the beleaguered german formations reached the village of chiselhurst my father had heard that chiseler's caves was a place where people used to go who were bombed out so he said let's get into the van and we go to the caves the hardly any lighting at all they gave us the hurricane lamps to find our way in they gave us mattresses to lay on on the floor blankets and we were one of the early ones then because that was just to the start of it and there was very few people here there was no no sound of aircraft or bombs or guns but ron has no intention of missing the excitement taking place overhead he leaves the shelter of the caves i was more interested in watching what was going on and i saw this huge formation of spitfires and hurricanes more than i'd seen before i should see roughly again about 50 or 60 of them making their way directly towards the formation of the bombers 1207 am hard-pressed and stripped of most of their fighter escort the german bomber formations arrive over london you could hear the um the throbbing of these uh aircraft that was it was pretty eerie i must say you could hear dro it was droning or you know sort of and you think oh my gosh we're going to be in for it twin brothers jeffrey and alan lee williams are already accomplished plane spotters we knew all the aircraft before we joined the atc because every book we bought was about aircraft recognition german bombers especially the handkerchief they made a very distinctive noise so you could tell the difference between a german plane and and a british plane [Music] 1208 dn park has six fighter squadrons over the capital itself with six more on route from neighboring groups more than 125 raf fighters are about to fall on the luftwaffe formations the fighters were up there there was no anti-aircraft firing they you know the no otherwise our aircraft would have been vulnerable clear blue sky above us the bombers were about 15 to twenty thousand feet up i think and the fighters were above them beneath them and the fighters were attacking each other the hurricanes were attacking the bombers as far as we could detect and the spitfires were attacking the messerschmitts there was this job that i attacked and i remember being very close to it and i remember also it splattering bits and pieces it's rather like hitting water with the back of a spoon you know you see things fly off in all directions high over london five squadrons from 12 group now into the fray there were that many aria fighters in the sky technically they were getting in each other's way you got yourself tangled up with these things with black swastikas and crosses on them and things occasionally you would find you were mixed up in a dogfight and a spitfire would waste past and you think ah there's somebody else here as well a friend but uh otherwise you didn't see you lost contact with all your own aircraft after all one minute the sky was a tangled massive whirling aircraft and you fastened onto one and went off in one direction and by the time you finished with that you looked around there was nobody to be seen anywhere looking up i'd i couldn't tell which was which i mean to me they look like giant moths playing you're it but i couldn't tell which was ours and which was theirs [Music] for the german airman as he crossed over believing that the royal air force was defeated to be confronted by another 50 to 60 hurricanes and spitfires you can imagine how their morale felt a lot of the bombers once they got to london they quickly turned round and as they flew back they got rid of the bombs i don't remember hearing a noise at all i think the bomb was so close that that we didn't hear the noise but we felt the blast and we were picked up and thrown into the woolshot and of course the blast had reached the window and blown it in before it blew us through a fraction of a fraction of a second between the two events thank god because if we'd actually gone through the glass i think it might well have killed us and then as i was about to deliver another attack on the same airplanes the crew began to bail out and i was immediately behind it and i remember seeing things i didn't really recognize to start with until they were flew past the top of my cockpit and i realized they were arms and legs the german aircraft was shot down just over our area and the the pilot parachuted into the grounds of the old bedlam lunatic asylum which is now the imperial war museum and he was immediately surrounded by as many people as you can name um all very very angry of course [Music] 12 11 pm the german formations turn away from london and head back towards the english channel carried all the way by spitfires and hurricanes two of the bomber pilots decided it was time to go home they didn't fancy they'd never seen so many spitfires and hurricanes together in one time so they took a turn they broke off from the right side of the uh formation which brought the two of them towards me as they were coming over they thought they'd get a bit more speed so they started to justin their bombs one of the bombs came down quite near me but being young and energetic and quite fit i was able to run i felt the blast to the bomb but i ran i wanted to keep my feet i ran into the caves [Music] when the german formation started its retreat from london raf fighters were concentrating on trying to bring the aircraft down the german commander of that formation allies lin mayer kept his formation together as tightly as possible knowing that it would split up individual aircraft would be doomed and he beat a brilliant tactical retreat he managed to get most of his formation back across the channel [Music] [Music] 12 55 p.m [Music] all clear sounds over london and the southeast when we came out we saw that our house and business which was the futures and green crisis bringing my father was completely ruined everything was smashed to smithereens and nothing left at all i had a friend at school and we decided that we'd meet up at the weekend and i would cycle over to his house when i got to the cottage there was just a heap of rubble there was no the house gone i looked up and opened my window and sure enough there in the gutter was a big plump chicken i shouted to my little tiny brother at the time we're going to have chicken tonight dave it turned out that um what our dead chicken was was that there was a very plump lady who was in the houses down the road and uh it uh it was that much over her arm that had got blown and onto our roof that was suddenly um a little boy being growing up very quickly and thinking war is not much fun they asked me to carry mugs of tea to the firemen who were still fighting the flames the ambulance people who were still dealing with people who were trapped in some of the burnt buildings we stayed there and think until most of the day until the fires had all calmed down but it was an experience that's impinged on my mind to such an extent it'll never go away 1pm in the operations room of 11 group the plotting map is cleared of enemy markers the luftwaffe attack has been heavily disrupted they have lost 18 aircraft the raf 13. but more hard fighting lies ahead the luftwaffe is gathering its forces for a second far greater assault that will push fighter command to the very limit 105 pm 15th of september 1940. german bombing raids have shattered the peace of sunday morning the people of london and southeast england begin dealing with the aftermath of the raid [Music] some discover more than just debris and destruction we were in our shelter we crept out and in the first apple tree down the garden there was a parachute opened no sign of a of an airman just the parachute this little pickup truck came along i think it was a hillman or an austin and with four or five home guard in the back uh and i think they had one rifle and they asked us where they where the parachutes had come down and so we told them and off they went we were told to keep them covered and make them take off their parachute when they were captured those german pilots they were so arrogant they couldn't do anything with them because they thought they would be released in a few weeks the brits were going to give in i think if someone's dropping bombs on you you don't like those people very much you know the the um there used to be a saying going around the only good german was a dead german the other thing was which lightened it up for us kids was searching for shrapnel shrapnel became a sort of currency amongst small boys who could swap cigarette cards through shrapnel the other way around no really good conquer would be worth a piece of shrapnel uh and so getting out into the streets first was quite important what you got good cool that'll make a good souvenir there would be competition between other boys mostly boys girls as well i suppose but mostly boys yeah of how much um you collected we collected buckets of of the stuff we did find a live incentive so i took it along to my friend's house who lives a bit further this way and um he got it on the workbench and he's drilling a hole in it and of course their magnesium and the drill bit was getting hot and there was a vivid blue or mouth flame coming off the uh bomb and i decided to get out of it as quickly as possible and i went and told his mum and he was rather upset about that you know stuffing stuff is fun as soon as the uh people had cleared the bomb site we were on it what we were mainly looking for were pennies that you know i've got buried in somebody a little horde of things um welcome very nice really when you come to think of but then of course it uh there was the sort of lightness for us as children a little bit of adventure that uh after all the horrors 1 40 p.m reports are streaming in as the electronic eyes of the radar network detect another buildup of enemy aircraft across the channel in the afternoon radar picked up an even larger formation forming up and crossing over the channel although it couldn't give an exact number it was estimated to be 400 plus aircraft our aircraft of course after morning raid and return to ground to re-armory fuel and we're back up in the sky to meet this threat the luftwaffe forms three huge columns of aircraft this aerial armada is determined to batter its way through all opposition [Music] we didn't really know what to expect well we were all praying that um we were the air force we're going to be strong enough to hold out you adopt a sort of fatalistic attitude to it you just carry on as best you can there was a phrase during the war which saying is that if a bomb has got your name on it that's the one to worry about but at my age you couldn't be killed anyway could you it was um it was a big adventure 1 45 pm a lone spitfire is ordered high over the english channel to wait for the incoming air fleets and relay visual reports to ground controllers meanwhile mary is under the impression that her memorable sunday is over she had a white wedding dress and she had some flowers just little tiny flowers in her hair you know anyway once she'd they'd got married they came out the church right got in their car and disappeared my father said come on let's go home then we'd never known anything like this before and the only consolation we had was that everyone was in the same boat 26 000 feet above the english coast the lone forward patrolling spitfire spots the incoming german formations minutes later more than 450 enemy aircraft begin to cross the english coast as each of his squadrons returns to combat readiness air vice marshal keith park orders them airborne once more and again he requests help from neighboring groups [Music] 275 fighters are scrambled to face more than 100 bombers escorted by over 350 enemy fighters throughout south east england the air raid sirens scream their warning this is red observer we've got hostiles 30 plus they herald the approach of the enemy air fleet and a battle fast moving towards its [Music] climax 2 14 p.m the first clashes take place high above romney marsh as three spitfire squadrons throw themselves into a steep dive to attack the enemy formations [Music] i saw these hundreds of germans coming in and we went in as a squadron to attack the bombers so i went in at this height they're in close formation and the gunner never fired back at me and i i always thought that somebody'd been at him first but anyway i got an engine blazing so the spitfires had come down to sea to them and the 109s would come down to attack the spitfires so by the time we got off the end of a squirting at a whole line of bombers uh all hell was let loose speed and surprise drives them through the escorting fighters and onto the bombers had a quick poke and obama then been bounced by the 109 escort yourself so you would have to concentrate on saving yourself from the 109s german fighters are hampered by orders to stick close to the bomber formations and struggle to beat off the initial attacks i was cycling along when i saw this aircraft coming towards me very very low rooftop height i jumped off my bicycle and quickly ran into the station and then realized the station wasn't a safe place to be because that could obviously be a target the german formations battle through to the outskirts of london we went into the anderson shelter and then people started to say look at this and of course we all piled out to see what this was and it was just unbelievable to see so many aircraft never seen so many aircraft 2 30 p.m the first of london's anti-aircraft batteries opened fire with little more than 200 heavy guns available london is desperately short of anti-aircraft artillery but the barrage unsettles the approaching bombers and acts as a beacon for british fighters the first thing we'd see is the cloud of anti-aircraft fire we seldom saw aircraft in here because you could pass 500 airplanes flying in the opposite direction two miles away and not see a thing all we used to see with the anti-aircraft shells bursting and we would fly towards them and then in the middle of those of course would be the bombers in fact we used to say that the only useful thing that the anti-aircraft did was to provide the puffs in the air which enabled us to see the bombers my champ came in all his clothes had little holes in it and it was shrapnel from the big guns from the park you know and they had all the stratna had gone through and burnt burnt holes all over his suit stretching out over town and countryside 60 miles back to the english coastline the sky is dotted with twisting turning aircraft and streaks of vapor and smoke what he can remember is the coming down in smoke and screaming and that sort of thing sparring down with a column of smoke and hitting that hit them when they hit the ground 2 33 pm the command system is becoming overloaded with reports of squadrons engaging and dog fights underway the situation boards and the plotters activity tell a story of total commitment one would have the impression that during a battle the operations room would be calm controlled and orderly according to one of the ladies that worked here when aircraft were up it was chaotic and extremely noisy churchill observes the crowded plotting table sensing that the action is approaching a climax he looks for signs of squadrons being held in reserve he asked park how many reserves did we have left the answer was none everything was committed for the afternoon raid park later described as a man who could have lost the war in an afternoon has sent every available squadron into action the decisive hour has arrived 2 45 pm 15th of september 1940. the battle rages over southeast england every available raf fighter squadron is airborne and committed british pilots are pushing themselves to the very limit but inevitably bombs begin to fall on the capitol by the time they arrived over the city london was covered in cloud they could not see their target so they just threw their bombs out indiscriminately all of a sudden there was this tremendous thump and the house shook and i heard a bomb dropped quite close and then another one much closer and i remember thinking to myself i hope there's not a third but there was all the lights went out it was pitch dark all the dirt and dust came up from the floor it was choking but fortunately we were alive right next door to us was the pickle factory well that got a hit and there was pickles flying everywhere there were bottles bursting and everywhere because everyone on the bikes you know there was pickles flying everywhere bombs dropped and they dropped to the hell of a bang and windows got blown in and roofs got blown off and very strange things happened to houses you'd get them sliced right through and that'd be a gap and you'd see all the wallpaper of all the rooms of that house that was still standing but these were the ghosts of the house that had gone i remember coming out of the church and realizing that we was being bombed or my dad said undercover undercover there were so many bombs falling then and they were falling down believe me because the bombs was falling down we was running here there and everywhere trying to get out of the way we went into the shelter except my brother wanted to go home with his wife and the baby the ball came down at the front of the shelter and pushed him down on top of his wife and the baby so they were saved but he was gone and that was the last time i see him during the war people got killed but you never looked at it from that point of view i suppose the fighter pilots were the same really they just glad to they shot someone down it was either them or us bombs have been scattered over a wide area of southeast london now the raiders turn for home their escort fighters have already left with barely enough fuel for the return flight and then there were sitting ducks and that's why there were so many german bombers shot down 3 15 pm as the retreating bombers reach the channel they are met by fresh german fighters hastily dispatched from bases in france fresh british fighters racing towards the battle from bases in exeter engaged them but british fighters are forced to abandon the chase they are low on fuel and ammunition and forbidden to perceive the enemy out across the sea with ominous clouds piling in the skies the threat of further aerial action recedes much to the relief of all the fort and lived through this day [Music] 5 25 p.m one last luftwaffe daylight raid is plotted in spite of a grueling day's fighting several raf squadrons again take to the air the enemy raiders are a fast hit and run force of fighter bombers targeting the spitfire works at southampton but they are driven off without loss to either side for fighter command it is their last major action of the day [Music] [Applause] today was the most costly for the german air force for nearly a month in daylight raids between 350 and 400 enemy aircraft were launched in two attacks against london and southeast england about half of them were shot down in the heat of battle raf pilots believe they've shot down many more aircraft than they have actual german losses are more down to earth the luftwaffe has lost 79 aircraft and more than 130 aircrew compared to raf losses of 29 aircraft with 12 pilots killed nonetheless it represents a stunning victory it was a defining point in the war two days later hitler postponed operation sea lion he realized that the lofathe had not defeated the royal air force therefore the invasion could not go ahead and you felt so proud of these wonderful young men who was defending us yes i mean you um they were in that sense heroes to us these were people giving their lives and protecting us and if i could have you know learned how to fly an airplane i'd have been up there i wouldn't of course my mother wouldn't let me the the 15th of september 1940 was the finest hour in our history because we came so near to to defeat it was a time when hitler thought he would be able to bring us to our knees and he failed it was just you know a remarkable outcome and here we are to tell the story in when we were at an air age shelter when an raf pilot came in and people stood up yes oh yes and applauded him yes yeah he was only a young chaplain but no medals he but he had his you know wings he was waiting i think to to do great things but he would look so young but everyone stood up in that shelter and rather like a theta performance they abroaded him the fighter squadrons a highly organized defense system and the national spirit of resilience have taught the nazi regime an abrupt lesson it is their first military defeat there will be bombing raids on british cities under the cover of night there will be four more years of hard fighting but britain itself has been saved the british people have maintained their freedom and secured their island home from invasion [Music] [Music] [Music] you
