 And while there were many factors involved, the most significant advantage that the British held was their radar system. Comprised of only 20 major sites, the British radar system allowed the RAF to quickly deploy aircraft to areas where German planes were approaching. Knowing when and where the German aircraft would appear, allowed planes to be refueled, restocked with ammunition, and British aircrews to be well-rested when the German planes arrived from their long flights. And while there were many factors involved, the most significant advantage that the British held was their radar system.

-While Luftwaffe command knew about radar (and had a more technologically advanced but more dispersed radar system), the German officers were more concerned about obtaining the required fuel and munitions for their planes than worrying about British radar. The German commanders refused to listen to their pilots and NCOs telling them that they needed to “knock out” British radar sites. Instead, the Luftwaffe was initially focused on destroying infrastructure and shipping ports. Ironically, just when RAF Fighter Command was on the brink of destruction as a result of German air raids against its ground organization, Hitler (frustrated by British night bombings of Germany - and against the objections of Hermann Göring) ordered the Luftwaffe to shift its focus to bombing London instead! This began on September 7, 1940, and it gave the RAF time to repair its destroyed installations (as protection of London was not militarily significant). Ultimately, not a single British radar site was damaged… and the Luftwaffe was dealt a devastating defeat!+While Luftwaffe command knew about radar (and had a more technologically advanced but more dispersed radar system), the German officers were more concerned about obtaining the required fuel and munitions for their planes than worrying about British radar.
