Britain's Stand Against Operation Sea Lion in World War II: Secrets from Above National Geographic France

On June 14, 1940, a lone RAF plane flew across the English Channel to the recently seized Merville airfield in occupied France, exposing 40 German bombers within striking range. With the Germans on the verge of annihilating British forces at Dunkirk, Britain finds itself alone against Hitler's "Operation Sea Lion" invasion plan. The fate of Britain hangs in the balance.

Delve deep into the history of the Battle of Britain in the all-new season of World War II: Secrets From Above, airing Monday September 18 at 8pm, only on National Geographic UK.
