The Battle of Britain

The Battle of Britain

War, the terrible reality that is a seething manifestation of human darkness, often ends with terrible repercussions. War, was and is the three-letter word that in most situations, is not enough to illustrate the wretchedness of the turmoils of man. Indeed many a times, the timeline depiction of human existence had been marred by war and conflict throughout history. It seemed man was not complacent enough to forgive, but rather, egoistically, wished to seek revenge on those that had rose to defile him. WWI had gone by, with countless sufferings that had placed a botch mark on history. It had been a harsh reminder, the red-hot iron of despair imprinted on the minds of the many war torn individuals that had survived. The screams of pain, the sights of mutilations, dismemberments, the moans, the cry for mothers were all an agonizing tablet that had summed up the First World War. Unfortunately, man learns lessons, and forgets them in an instant, and that very man, Adolf Hitler, with his maniacal ideas sparked the fuse for WWII. It was an exact mirror replication of the previous one, except that this time, the stakes were higher, with many more lives at stake. It seemed the devil himself had chosen to be imbued within Hitler, his fiery red eyes that had instilled pain and fear amongst all of Europe. The only souls left that could extinguish his visions were the Britons, and they waged war on Germany. That war was to be known as the Battle of Britain, and the eventual outcome saw Britain as the victor. Germany had lost this war, adding a sour note to its commendable collection of previous victories. Was it Britain’s collective might that had toppled its opposition, or had it been the result of miscalculations...

...e grasp of yet another triumphant conquest. The Germans, seemed the heavy favorites, but their heads were bloated with pride, and eventually, were unable to see reality’s harsh misgivings. Had they accepted humility, and taken to heart that underestimation led to failure, maybe, the outcome would have been very different. They were poorly organized, and so, the victors were the Britons. In the arena of war, the gladiators strike with precision, and thoughtfulness, with full consideration of the consequences. Britain had wielded its lance and shield to its advantage, while Germany, drunk from the wine of pride, had stumbled, bleary eyed, and had eventually been speared. Let the spoils of the victory go to the victor, for Britain indeed had deserved it. The blunders of Germany will never be forgotten, and for that, let this essay be the eternal testimony to its fate.
