When the German Air Force failed to gain air superiority over the British in its Battle of Britain air campaign in 1940, it marked a major turning point in World War II, letting Britain rebuild its forces and strengthening the resolve of those opposing Hitler.

A decisive defeat for the German Air Force took place on Sept. 15, 1940.
