The film includes a sequence which relates the events of 15 August 1940, in which the "Luftwaffe" attempted to overwhelm fighter defences by simultaneous attacks on northern and southern England, the "Luftwaffe" reasoning that "even a Spitfire can't be in two places at once". North East England was attacked by 65 Heinkel He 111s escorted by 34 Messerschmitt Bf 110s and RAF Driffield was attacked by 50 unescorted Junkers Ju. 88s. Out of 115 bombers and 35 fighters sent, 16 bombers and seven fighters were lost. As a result of these casualties, "Luftflotte" 5 did not appear in strength again in the campaign.
