The First Blitzkrieg, SeaLion

[gwgardner]

10/13-14

Two days of rain and muddy conditions stalled offensive operations, immediately after the supply situation was restored. But for the last four days 10th Army's offensive towards the east and northeast of London has proceeded well. 9th Army to the west has taken a seconday role, but has a bridgehead over the Thames.

Air support has gone almost completely to 10th Army, with heavy losses from AA batteries in the London suburbs. At one point German air superiorty had grown to 8:1, but after losses to AA in urban areas that has been reduced to 4:1.
