What was the name of the German bombing of London in World War II?

1940 At the beginning of August, the German Air Force assembled 2669 fighters, and Air Force Commander Goering drew up the "Eagle" plan to destroy the British Air Force.

The plan is mainly to use the flexibility of air strikes to carry out large-scale attacks on the enemy, thus forcing Britain to withdraw from the battlefield of World War II. Goering was scheduled to launch the first large-scale air attack on the British army on August 1940, and named this day "Eagle Day". However, due to the bad weather and low visibility in southern England that day, the plane could not fly normally, so the German army had to postpone the "Eagle Day" to August 13.

On August 3rd, 1940, the long-awaited "Eagle Project" was finally implemented. The main goal of attacking the Germans at this stage is to destroy the main force of the British Air Force. The German Air Force dispatched more than 1500 planes, and the attacks were mainly concentrated in southern England. The targets are mainly the British Channel Fleet, important ports, large airports and major military facilities.
