Final answer:
The exact number of planes shot down during the Battle of Britain is not provided, therefore it is not possible to calculate the difference between the 4,800 planes shot down since 1945 and the number lost during the Battle of Britain. The RAF's success was due in part to technological advantages like radar and higher production capacities.
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare the number of planes lost in the Battle of Britain with those shot down in all wars since 1945, we need to ascertain the figures for both. The Battle of Britain, which lasted from July to September 1940, saw significant losses for Germany but the exact number of German planes shot down is not provided in the information available. For the all wars and conflicts since 1945, it's stated that 4,800 planes were shot down. Without the figure from the Battle of Britain, we cannot directly calculate how many more planes this is than those lost during that battle.
The Battle of Britain was crucial in preventing a German invasion and significant for the number of aerial engagements over British skies. German forces encountered stiff resistance from the Royal Air Force which had the advantages of radar technology and the fact that any pilots who were shot down over Britain could potentially be rescued, unlike their German counterparts. The RAF's success also relied on the production capabilities of British factories, which were able to produce a higher number of aircraft compared to German factories during the war.
