<Li> Raids on the Atlantic Wall </Li> <Li> Battle of Atlantic </Li> <P> The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England, literally "the air battle for England") was a military campaign of the Second World War, in which the Royal Air Force (RAF) defended the United Kingdom (UK) against large - scale attacks by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces . </P> <P> The British officially recognize the battle's duration as being from 10 July until 31 October 1940, which overlaps the period of large - scale night attacks known as the Blitz, that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941 . German historians do not accept this subdivision and regard the battle as a single campaign lasting from July 1940 to June 1941, including the Blitz . </P>
