June 1940. France and Britain have been defeated by Germany. The British army has lost a huge part of its heavy armament and equipment while embarking at Dunkirk. Hitler begins to think about invading England. But, instead of doing this, he attacks Britain only with the Luftwaffe (which is already quite bizarre).
In July, Hitler begins by attacking the boats. Then, seeing the small results of this strategy, he changes his mind and decides to destroy the royal air force (RAF) and military strategic points.
Between the beginning of August and the 7th of September, Things go quite well. The RAF is on the verge of being destroyed. But, suddenly, Hitler changes once again his strategy and begins to bomb the towns.
The explanation of this is that, on August 24, a German bomber sent erroneously its bombs on London while he thought he was bombing the Thameshaven refinery. The day after, the RAF sent bombers on Berlin in retaliation. Furious about this, the 7th of September, Hitler stopped attacking the RAF and military areas and began to bomb only towns. This lasted until October. Then, Hitler decided to not invade England. Thus, the military effort on England was strongly decreased. There were still some bombings (until spring 1941), but much less than during September.
Those strategies and changes of strategy seem already strange even when you believe in the official theory. Hitler knew that attacking boats would not lead to anything, since the boats would go in safe areas of course. So, why try to attack boats? Then, he began to do the right thing, that is, attack the RAF and strategic points. It was good. But the new change of strategy (bombing towns) was once again very strange. He was on the point of destroying the RAF in just one month, and suddenly, because of just one little bombing on Berlin, he was suddenly dominated by his nerves, and decided to abandon completely his winning strategy? Very strange indeed.
