In retrospect, the Battle of England is considered closed on October 31, 1940, when the German command “postponed indefinitely” the large-scale daytime bombing of the United Kingdom,[9] although the nighttime bombings continued sporadically until the eve of Operation Barbarossa.
In numerical terms, the RAF lost 1 023 aircraft (all fighters), while the Luftwaffe 1 887 (of which 873 fighters).
Thus, in total the RAF took advantage in the ratio of 1.8, although in the records of fighter-hunting the ratio is reversed, having been surpassed by the Luftwaffe in the ratio of 0.85, still falling to 0.64 when it came to combat between single-engine fighters.
In the United Kingdom air defense, between July 10 and October 31, on the British side there were 544 military deaths, including 402 British airmen, 5 Belgians, 7 Czechs, 29 Poles, 3 Canadians and 3 New Zealanders. The German dead, including the bomber crew, reached 2,698. However, the highest numbers of deaths were civilians. Among the British, who had the greatest number of civilian deaths in this battle, it is estimated that about 40,000 civilians died and 46,000 were injured and mutilated.
