Hitler's lack of persistence costed him the Battle of Britain

As with the last round, I am going to italicize my opponent's arguments. I would, as it is the final round, like to point out to my opponent for the last time that Britain's RAF could've Ben beaten had Hitler stopped the attacks on London and continued attacking the RAF. With no military intelligence, Hitler was in the dark about the RAF's strength. One, as with Hitler and the Luftwaffe, you are underestimating the RAF's strength. "At the start of the battle, the Luftwaffe had 2,500 planes that were serviceable and in any normal day, the Luftwaffe could put up over 1,600 planes. The RAF had 1,200 planes on the eve of the battle. " Further, by September 6, the last day of the direct attacks on the RAF, ". .. for all this apparent success, the Luftwaffe was losing more planes than the RAF was - 1000 German losses to 550 RAF. " This made their strength about equal by the time the decision to change targets was made. Finally, my opponent continues to ignore the several force multiplers the RAF had against the Luftwaffe. [1]And two, again, it was not a lack of persistence that caused Hitler to order the Luftwaffe to change their targets, and it should not be represented as such. Further, by the end of the battle, the Luftwaffe did not have the strength to continue engaging the RAF, regardless of their targets. If they had continued to persist, the Luftwaffe would just have been decimated. Overall, it was not a lack of persistence that caused the Luftwaffe to lose the Battle of Britain. The resuming of attacks on the RAF would've wiped out the Spitfires, proving even despite their skill, they would've been overpowered by the He11's. My opponent presents no proof of this. I have refuted this claim a number of times, but if that was not enough, I will make this point - here are the casualty reports for September 15, the last major day of engagement between the two forces: "On September 15th came the last major engagement of the battle. On that day, the Luftwaffe lost 60 planes while the RAF lost 28. " Between the heavy Luftwaffe losses, light RAF losses, and quick British factory airplane replacement rate, it is highly unlikely the Luftwaffe could have beaten the RAF. [1]Britain had basically no army at all after the losses in the Battle of France, as they mostly surrendered after being trapped in Belgium, or one of the 200,000 killed at the Battle of Dunkirk. This is a complete lie.
