The German High Command, in a tense meeting room adorned with maps and strategic diagrams, grappled with the unexpected resistance of the Royal Air Force. Field Marshal Wilhelm von Brauchitsch, a stern figure with a monocle, furrowed his brow as he listened to the reports filtering in from the Channel.
General Hermann Göring, the head of the Luftwaffe, paced the room, his frustration palpable. "This was not anticipated. The British air defenses are putting up a more formidable fight than we calculated," he declared, his voice edged with impatience.
Colonel Erich von Manstein, a seasoned military strategist, examined the latest intelligence reports. "The radar technology they're using is giving them an edge. We didn't account for its effectiveness. It's disrupting our formations before we even reach their shores."
