Hitler signed an armistice with France on June 22, 1940. On the same day, he declared that Britain had been driven forever from the continent of Europe. Some time after this, a newly created Combined Operations Command was instructed to design a program of raids against the German occupied regions in order to harass them and gain experience in German defences. However, this was impossible until German forces were committed elsewhere. The opportunity presented itself when Germany attacked Russia. Also, Japanese raided Pearl Harbour and United States became an active participant in the war.
