Communist Nazi German Invasion at London England 1940

London Bridge 1940

The British homeland London of England was air invaded by the Axis and Nazi Germany who first stationed at the Channel Islands. At the beginning of the first World War, Britain had ordered attacks on German property in allied states, one included a wireless radio station in Western Samoa, and England was targeted to pay for their many trespassing against the German people and their allies. The British Channel islands gave off a strategic point which let Nazi German Air forces access and control areas of Northern France, and all of England (an aerial skip-away from London). In 1940, the 28th Maori Battalion was also then so famously raised, who had been first assembled roughly in late 1939. The Maori Battalion, working with other Allied forces went on rescue to Britain, supporting more the Scottish lines of defense. 

On March 13th 1940, the 28th Maori Battalion of Allied Maori was declared active, sent to aid Scotland (not England), and who's initial orders were to station in the Middle-east with the 2nd New Zealand Division. Other units were quickly redirected after there was intelligence of an "All-Out Invasion of Britain". In June through July of the same year, the Maori Battalion blended with another mixed brigade, defending the English-Scottish border since the British Expeditionary Force under General Lord Gort had been defeated in France. Nazi Germany was reported to have taken-over France in under 6 weeks in 1940, shocking the governments further westward. The rescue of England was then expected to be an impossible task, and an overwhelming force of German Aerial forces were unable to be countered by the British RAF.

The German Invasion of the English Channel Islands On the 28th of June, on Guernsey, St. Helier Jersey was bombed, taking down a great many of the buildings. This act marked officially the "Invasion of Britain". An incident was reported during German occupation where tomato trucks were supposedly mistaken for ammunition trucks, which were machine-gunned down killing several of the local British drivers. On June 30th the Luftwaffe (Aerial German Forces) arrived in full on the British Channel Islands, along with an aircraft dropping several Nazi officers who met police authorities. The isle of Guernsey in Britain then passed fully into Nazi occupation. The Invasion of England London by Germany 1940 In September on a Sunday, known in New Zealand as Black Sunday of 1940, through May in 1941, just over 6 months, England's Capital City of London was bombed by German Aerial forces, and attacked at least 71 times, called "The Blitz". The speed at which the German forces moved west, and turning their attention directly to England, is why the invasion is often named "The Blitz" for the lightning fast operation attacks. Italy allied to German forces offered it's services to invade Britain, in agreement at the notion of an operation "to down England's motherland", but was given assistance access only in the attacks.

Radio Broadcasts from England in London during German air raids broadcasted from CBA Radio correspondent Edmond R. Murrow reporting from "The Fall of London" to American and Canadian public during the air raids.

"This is London about ten minutes to four in the morning. Tonight's raid which started about eight is still in progress. The number of planes engaged is about the same as usual, perhaps a few more from last night. Barring lucky hits, both damage and casualties should be no greater than on previous nights. The next three hours may bring a change, but so far the raids appear to be routine, with the Germans flying perhaps a little lower than they did last night."

The German occupation of the British isles lasted for a little over five [5] years where the forces spent a great deal of resources to fortify the area, militarily colonizing London's neighboring regions. In May 1945, the Prime Minister of Britain, a Mr. Churchill, broadcasted to the public "Our dear Channel Islands will be Free today". The British never confronted German occupation inside the British Channel during the World Wars. European politics went into another unpredictable age, and eventually the USA joined the WWs and joined in on fighting Extreme Communism. After the Worlds Wars were over, and Eastern Communist Nazi Germany surrendered, Western German Democratic Socialists revived the War-torn regions with economic innovations, creating the "Deutsche Mark coin", and stabilizing the region.
