"Cliffs of Dover", title sounds... weak

Things to associate more with BoB

The Few

We shall never surrender
Achtung spitfuer!
Tally ho
Scramble
Eagle Day
Operation Sealion

etc etc

the whole cliffs of dover thing is for returning servicemen from fighting in Europe, on ships, from the song.

But hey I'm just a Brit, maybe CoD means more to the international community.

I agree. Cliffs of Dover would suit the later Rhubarb/circus stage of events (1941) where the RAF pilots welcomed the sight of the cliffs after returning from France.
Anyway, It's just a name, and clearly a decision has been made
