Why somebody thinks BoB was won by Brits and Spitfires specifically must be from the myth because Germans did switch their resources from Brit front to the eastern front to set up operation Barbarossa.
Read your history (not just winners very coloured history), you might gain something of it in terms of knowledge...

If there was ever a viewpoint on the BoB that was so wholeheartedly wrong, it is this one.
