By June 1940, Nazi Germany had successfully conquered France and were now looking to go further and invade the British isles. From hereon, a direct battle between Great Britain and Germany began.
Charles de Gaulle, the President of France had fled to London and established a government in exile. He had the full support of the British and Germans understood that as long as there was British support, they will need to face problems in their newly conquered lands.
Hence, Hitler devised a large plan to invade Britain. With uninterrupted supply routes from the industrial bases in Germany to the beaches of Northern France, the Nazi party believed they had all the key benefits in launching an amphibious attack on Britain and and ending the British Empire.
All of this culminated in what is now called the Battle of Britain. Both the German Air force and the British carried out numerous raids on one another, leveling cities and killing thousands of people. Naval battles were fought and the Germans were even able to control the Jersey island.
However, eventually, the British resistance proved too strong for the Germans. eventually, Britain was used as a launching pad fro the Normandy campaign where British, American, Canadian and Australian forces launched an offensive attack on Germans.
