WWII – The 75th Anniversary – Battle of Britain

19-25 September

German attacks continue with minor raids.

The fighting results in the loss of;

Luftwaffe: 59

RAF: 22

As the night attacks on London continue, the government officially allows the Underground (or subway) stations to be used as air-raid shelters. This has been happening unofficially for some time.
23-24 September – During the night the RAF bombs Berlin.

I am an ex-teacher having taught Ancient and Modern History, Social Science and Computing (weird combo ... hey) in the NSW (Australian) education system. I completed my degree at the same time as Maxx, but majored more in Modern History and Political Science before doing a Graduate Dip. Ed. and teaching. I have a strong interest in military history (all periods) but love reading about all aspects of history (you might call me a history junkie). I believe learning should be a life long pursuit and that the study of history is integral to the development of a mature, modern 'thinking' and 'questioning' society.
