FORTRESS BRITAIN 1940: Britain's Unsung and Secret Defences on Land, Sea and in the Air

1-245610

Counters the narrative that Britain was unprepared for World War II by stating that on land, sea, and in the air, indeed Britain was prepared. It had the most powerful navy in the world; the RAF was relatively strong, but more importantly, was operating as part of a plan and a coordinated defense system that was in reality never in any real danger of being defeated; even the post-Dunkirk British Army was better armed than the post-war narrative tells us. These forces were backed up by the Home Guard, and thousands of men and women in secret roles ready to help fight the invasion of the country. Even if all of this had gone wrong and the Nazis had defeated Britain militarily then a separate, highly secret civilian group were ready to become active only after the occupation had started.
