'If Hitler fails to invade or destroy Britain, he has lost the war, ' Churchill said in the summer of 1940. He was right. The Battle of Britain was a crucial turning point in the history of the Second World War and now, acclaimed British historian James Holland has written the definitive account of this battle based on extensive new research from around the world including thousands of new interviews with people on both sides of the fighting.

Had Britain's defenses collapsed, Hitler would have dominated all of Europe and been able to turn his full attention east to the Soviet Union. The German invasion of France and the Low Countries in May 1940 was unlike any the world had ever seen. It hit with a force and aggression that no-one could counter and in just a few short weeks, all in their way crumbled under the force of the Nazi hammer blow. With France facing defeat and with British forces pressed back to the Channel, there were few who believed Britain could possibly survive. Soon, it seemed, Hitler would have all of Europe at his feet. Yet Hitler's forces were not quite the Goliath they at first seemed, while her leadership lacked the single-minded purpose, vision and direction that had led to such success on land. Nor was Britain any David. Thanks to a sophisticated defensive system and the combined efforts of the RAF, Royal Navy as well as the mounting sense of collective defiance led by a new Prime Minister, Britain was not ready to give in to the Nazi onslaught.

From clashes between coastal convoys and Schnellboote in the Channel to astonishing last stands in Flanders, and from the slaughter by the U-boats in the icy Atlantic to the dramatic aerial battles over England, James Holland's The Battle of Britain paints a complete picture of that extraordinary summer - a time in which the fate of the world truly hung by a thread.

Intense healing in a convenient jar!
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A great healing lotion for all over body application. I like the product being in a jar so there is no problem getting the lotion out of a bottle making this a very wise economical choice. A 72 hour intense healing lotion providing a long lasting healing experience. Highly recommended.

The texture is rich but still absorbs nicely into the skin, and a little goes a long way. I NIVEAs
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
deep hydration and works especially well for very dry skin. The formula feels rich and nourishing but still absorbs nicely without feeling greasy. After applying it, my skin feels soft, smooth, and comfortable for hours. I also love that it contains ingredients like glycerin, Pro-vitamin B5, and niacinamide to help repair and protect dry skin.

Great Daily moisturizer
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Very light and neutral smell ( although I can understand that the scent may not be to everyone’s liking). The new formula with niacinamide adds a great benefit for your skin. Leaves the skin moisturized. Compared to CeraVe and Cetaphil intense moisturizers, those are much more heavy and longer lasting but overall I really like this product and will continue to use it as part of my daily moisturizer. I do wish NIVEA was more environmentally conscious.

The best!!
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Love this Nivea. And love that it’s in a tub and not a pump bottle so I can scoop out exactly how much I need and get every bit out at the end of every tub. I use this every day as soon as I get out of the shower. I lotion my entire body. It has made my skin baby soft smooth. It has also really helped with dry skin I had on my feet as well. Love it. I use my retinol and other skincare products on my face and neck and then I lotion my entire body right up to my chin. I don’t really use this on my face because I have other products for that but you could. It’s not greasy and absorbs well. Locks in moisture. And you get quite a bit for the money. I do wish Nivea’s skin firming lotion came in a tub like this too.
