Oppose - operations do get their own articles that need to be expanded. Battle of Britain was a defensive campaign by the RAF to prevent success of the German strategy. However the name needs to change to German in conforming with the convention that the operational codenames are retained in their original language.-- mrg3105 ( comms) ♠♥♦♣ 00:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Per naming convention on operational codenames the article is proposed to be renamed to the German name-- mrg3105 ( comms) ♠♥♦♣ 00:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
"With the only the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth left as a viable threat to the Third Reich, "
in the opening section. The United States was a viable threat to the Third Reich. The Soviet Union was a viable threat to the Third Reich. Presumably the person who wrote that sentence knew that, and meant to imply that the British were the only ones still fighting the Germans ... at that time. Not only that, the British were not a "threat" to the Third Reich, their capabilities were purely defensive and they posed no offensive risk to the Germans. This should be better worded.

"Hitler gave the German armed forces (Wehrmacht) a directive (Directive No. 16) which ordered the preparation for the aerial attack and pacification of the United Kingdom in order to prevent it from becoming a base from which the Western Allies could continue the war against the Greater German Reich and German-occupied Europe."
A base from which the western allies..... in June 1940, which western allies would those be ? Someone has put some very sloppy writing into this article. Eregli bob ( talk) 10:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
The consolidated report of the OKW (also known as Wehrmachberich) regarding the operations against France from June 5th to 25th ended with the words Es bleibt nur noch ein Feind: England! or "Only one enemy remains: England!" MisterBee1966 ( talk) 19:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
"Conversely the Germans remained opaque to Allied developments" surely this should be the other way round, that is: "Conversely Allied developments remained opaque to the Germans"? -- TristramBrelstaff ( talk) 15:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
