Resumen

La Batalla de Inglaterra es uno de los eventos militares más importantes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Se han utilizado diferentes enfoques para estudiarla y comprender el fundamento de la estrategia de Gran Bretaña y la Alemania nazi. Sin embargo, el uso de conceptos de guerra, como los centros de gravedad y su definición contemporánea, para escrutar la planificación y el desarrollo de la batalla no han sido tan prolíficos. Este artículo pretende contribuir al debate, manteniendo que el concepto de centros de gravedad proporciona un marco ventajoso que facilita entender la postura y el desarrollo de la batalla en términos de las capacidades, los requisitos y las vulnerabilidades críticas necesarias para ganar.
