The London Attacks
After watching the first two parts of the video, I was in shock. I was in shock that the Germans completley destroyed London, and they destroyed them so badly that they were on the brink of London burning to the ground. I was in shock that the Bristish people had young men at the ages of 17 and 18 stopping the fires. All in all these first two phases were just totally barbaric. My final question is, why did they not continue with phase three?

It seems to easy to say that the Germans did not continue the attack on Britain because they realized that they have done enough damage to the city of London. I personally believe that there is no other way to describe the German Airforce's actions of phase three. The firestorm that was created through the constant barrage of fire cannasters and 550 pound bombs to spread the fire was enough to create a situation that the young un-experienced London firefighters were not able to contain. Without wasting fuel, weaponary and the possibility to lose men was not in the German Luftwaffe mindset.
