"Germany attempted an invasion September'' 17,. 1940, but was stopped by a fierce storm which broke up the channel. Why did the Germans not invade Britain? God would not let them. i One of the high ranking German officers said, Oat ;during the ,Battle of Britain they would send over their air force. Britain was not prepared to meet them but they would send up their apparently, - antequated air craft and beat them back. We know that the power of the 'German air force at that time was much superior to that of Britain and yet they were forced back. Why did the Enemy not win in the air? God would not let them. It is claimed that the days between May 29 and .Tune 3, 1940 were the turning point not only of the war but also of the history of mankind. During that time an army commis - ng more than one quarter of a mil - ion men with almost the complete field equipment under the authority o Britain at that time were entrap - ed at Dunkirk. The heart of the world stood still as these brave nten who showed no emotion (al- p hough they must have known what i their destruction would mean to o ritain) stood awaiting death or mprisonment. j The English Channel which at that i ime of year is never known to be p lm suddenly was almost as smooth us glass. „We well know the story of hew even "very; small- ,bbate "Went back and forth "'acoompanied,rby idesti troyera until ' every one except, the dead ogre • taken safely to England.
