Surley success can only be measured against objective?
The German objective was air supremacy over southern England, the British objective was to stop that. So that's a victory for that particular phase.
Problem with the Battle of Britain is that at the time nobody really knew it had finished, it just sort of changed into the Blitz period.
Back to the OT, I think a lot of the LW people were disillusioned with German High Command ofter the BoB. In the same way that the RAF became disillusioned with the fighter sweeps and bomber escorts of the later years.
As for the score... Wasn't it 2-0? (tounge is firmly in cheek!)
