The German plan was to destroy the RAF. The RAF until this time had deployed radar and other detection equipment along the coast. and Air Marshall Dowding had planned to deploy small fleets of airplanes to combat what he believed would be standard waves of enemy attackers. The Germans though had other plans. During the raid the Germans destroyed multiple airfields, radar installations and many key communication facilities all over the British coast. Making subsequent attacks possible and extending the battle for weeks. Even though suffering losses Germany effectively won a tactical victory by securing an offensive position over the English Channel and North Sea via Air to which to strike throughout the campaign.
