Editing Chain Home (section)

===Battle of Britain===
During the battle, Chain Home stations – most notably the one at [[Ventnor]], [[Isle of Wight]] – were attacked several times between 12 and 18 August 1940. On one occasion a section of the radar chain in Kent, including the Dover CH, was put out of action by a lucky hit on the power grid. Though the wooden huts housing the radar equipment were damaged, the towers survived owing to their open steel girder construction. Because the towers survived intact and the signals were soon restored, the ''Luftwaffe'' concluded the stations were too difficult to damage by bombing and left them alone for the remainder of the war.{{fact|date=September 2021}}<!--Neither did the Germans understand how vulnerable the generators, & phone lines, were-->
