Which group bore the brunt of the German aerial assault during the Battle of Britain?

  • No. 3 Group

  • No. 11 Group

  • Fighter Command

  • None

Answer

The primary target of Germany’s air campaign during the Battle of Britain was No. 11 Group, responsible for defending southeastern England, including London. Its airfields, radar stations, and infrastructure were relentlessly attacked in an attempt to gain air superiority and demoralize the British population. The intense focus on No. 11 Group reflected its critical role in protecting vital targets and sustaining Britain's ability to resist the invasion threat.
