Now, let's match the given (partial) facts:

• The fact about "London is accidentally bombed, bomb shelters were used" belongs to Battle of Britain (during the Blitz, which was part of the broader Battle of Britain context, as the Blitz targeted London and other cities after the air battle phase).

If we assume we need to fill the table with correct facts for each battle, here is a more organized way:

Battle	Correct Facts
Battle of Britain	1. German Luftwaffe vs British RAF. <br> 2. July - October 1940. <br> 3. "The Few" defended Britain. <br> 4. Radar was crucial. <br> 5. Targeted British cities/airfields.

If the original problem had specific blanks to fill (like the hand - written notes), for example:

• For D - Day, the date "June 6, 1944" is correct.
• For Battle of Britain, the time "July 10, 1940" (start of the main air battle) is correct.
• For Battle of the Atlantic, the convoy system fact is correct.

Since the problem was a bit unclear in terms of exact blanks, but based on the hand - written notes:

• The "June 6, 1944" note belongs to D - Day.
• The "July 10, 1940" note belongs to Battle of Britain.
• The "London is accidentally bombed, bomb shelters were used" note belongs to Battle of Britain (during the Blitz, which was part of the Battle of Britain's broader context as the Germans bombed London and other cities after the initial air - to - air combat phase).
