Today we started off reviewing Winston Churchill, we listened to a speech of his.
Battle of Britain: destroy air force (never achieved), destroy navy, attack troops. Germans started bombing at night (terror bombing). GB was heavily aided by the radar and Ultra (intercept/decifering of German code). Air force went against German Luftwaffe (Herman Goering, took over after Hitler killed himself for less than a month).
Don't loan money to "cash and carry system". Countries now have to pay in advance. Have to transport yourselves.
Bases for Destroyers: we gave GB old destroyers ships, we got bases.
Lend-Lease Act: replaced "cash and carry system", lend things to other countries (not money)
"Never was so much owed by so many to so few"-Churchill
