SCRAMBLE - The Battle of Britain Monument in London is a superb monument to The Few commemorating those people who took part in this vital battle of the Second World War. The airmen's names are remembered in bronze panels and the friezes are designed to honour those who took part in the air or on the ground, military or civilian, male or female. There is even a dog! And 3 cups of tea! Tell me your favourite frieze if you like.
NEVER IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN CONFLICT WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO MANY TO SO FEW." Winston Churchill, 20 August 1940.
In June 1940 the forces of the Third Reich stood poised to invade the British Isles. Conquerors of France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Luxembourg, only Britain stood between Hitler and total domination of Western Europe. Before an invasion could be launched it was necessary for the German Luftwaffe to gain control of the skies over the Channel, London and southern England. The Luftwaffe were combat hardened following bombing campaigns in Spain, France, Poland and the Low countries compared with the allied pilots who lacked experience and were greatly out-numbered. The pilots of the fledgling RAF Fighter Command fought bravely and tenaciously eventually overcoming the Luftwaffe and causing the Germans to postpone and eventually cancel their invasion plans. Of the 2,936 British, European and Commonwealth airmen, 544 lost their lives during the battle and a further 795 did not live to see the final victory in 1945. The Battle took place in the period between 10th July and 31st October 1940.
This monument is in honour of the spirit and sacrifice of "the Few" that flew in the Battle.
