  • Battle of Britain Blood Red Skies
    Battle of Britain Blood Red Skies (BRS) Campaign The German “Blitzkrieg”, a new way of waging “lightning war” had raged through first Poland, then in the early summer of 1940 struck at Holland, Belgium and France. The Luftwaffe (German air force) crushed all opponents in the air, and then fast moving armour with ever present air support sliced through ground forces leaving their opponents scrabbling to hold defensive positions that were already untenable. The British Expeditionary Force fell back to Dunkirk and was evacuated against the odds. During this period the RAF (Royal Air Force) had desperately tried to defend the Dunkirk beaches and the constant stream of ships large and small ferrying the remains of the BEF back home. When the last ships left over 338000 men had been evacuated, British and French, but they were exhausted and had abandoned all their weapons and heavy equipment on French roads and beaches. As Churchill said “What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over ... the Battle of Britain is about to begin” The Battle of Britain was fought in the skies above England in the summer of 1940. The Luftwaffe were seeking to destroy the RAF to clear the way for a cross Chanel assault by the German Army. If they could succeed, Britain would be threatened with defeat and the war would be over. If the RAF could survive, then there may be time to prepare the defences, and possibly take the fight back to the enemy in due course. This campaign is designed to allow players to recreate some of the desperate battles fought in the summer of 1940 using the Blood Red Skies (BRS) rules from Warlord Games.

  • 106 German and British Adaptations and the Context of German Strategic Decision Making in 1940-41 Williamson Murray Historians U
    German and British Adaptations and the Context of German Strategic Decision Making in 1940-41 Williamson Murray Historians usually characterize the Battle of Britain as a great contest between the Luftwaffe and RAF Fighter Command that lasted from early July 1940 through to the massive daylight bombing of London during the first two weeks of September. The RAF is slightly more generous in placing the dates for the battle as occurring between 10 July and 15 October 1940.1 But the long and short of it is that the historical focus has emphasized the daylight, air-to-air struggle that took place over the course of three months: July, August, and September, 1940. This article, however aims at examining adaptation over a wider space of time – from early June 1940 through to the end of May 1941, when the Wehrmacht turned east with Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union and what the Luftwaffe’s chief of staff termed “a proper war.”2 It also aims at examining adaptation on both sides in the areas of technology, intelligence, operations, and tactics, rather than simply the contest between British fighters and German bombers and fighters – although the latter is obviously of considerable importance. Moreover, it will also examine the questions surrounding the larger strategic issues of German efforts to besiege the British Isles over the course of 1940 and the first half of 1941. The period of the Anglo-German war between the fall of France and the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 is of particular interest because it involved the integration of a whole set of new technologies and concepts into conflict as well as the adaptation to a complex set of problems that those new technologies raised, the answers to which were largely ambiguous.

  • SECRET A. D. I. (K) Report No. 410/1945 the FOLLOWING
    SECRET A. D. I. (K) Report No. 410/1945 THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM P/W AS THE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT AS YET BEEN VERIFIED, NO MENTION OF THEM SHOULD BE MADE IN INTELLIGENCE SUMMARIES OF COMMANDS OR LOWER FORMATIONS, NOR SHOULD THEY BE ACCEPTED UNTIL COMMENTED ON AIR MINISTRY INTELLIGENCE SUMMARIES OR SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS. G.A.F.SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE IN THE WAR — IX Norway and the Northern Convoy Routes. 1. In this series dealing with various aspects of the G.A.F. Signals Intelligence service in the war, it had been intended to conclude with the eighth report. Since the issue of the first report, however, another P/W has become available who had a comprehensive knowledge of signals activities in the Norwegian area throughout the war. It has therefore been found possible to add the present report, the ninth and final in the series. 2. The gradual expansion of signals intelligence based in Norway, and the Allied activities which it covered, are followed in this account from year to year from the time of the invasion of Norway onwards. In order that ready comparisons of the extent of that expansion may be made each year is dealt with separately, and maps showing the situation at various intervals during the war are appended. 1940. NUCLEUS OF THE ORGANISATION. 3. Soon after the invasion of Norway in May 1940, signals intelligence personnel from W-22 at Husum were formed into a new unit and sent to operate at Oslo. This new unit was named W—Leit 5 and, subordinated to the Höherer Nafü of Luftflotte 5, formed the nucleus of the projected signals intelligence service in Norway; its initial strength was that of a Trupp, but by the autumn was to be increased to a Zug (platoon).
