Why English channel was important in regards with world war 2?
First, in 1940, the Germans held France, and were on the verge of wiping out the British army in north France. But, British officials forced anyone that had a boat that could operate on the sea to transport British soldiers from France back to England via the English Channel. This saved the British army in World War 2 in 1940. Second, the British stormed across the English channel on D-day to recapture France. This is what started the liberation of Western Europe. And lastly, the Battle of Britain was fought over the English channel. Britain didn't want the German air force to be over Britain, so Britain met the Germans over the English channel. This way, the Nazi planes didn't have a chance to bomb Britain if they were stopped over the English channel.
