“Radar was used for the first time in the famous Battle of Britain, in the Summer of 1940. Germany had beaten France and driven the British army out of Europe. But they still had to beat Britain to win the war.
The powerful Luftwaffe, the strongest Air Force in the world, attacked Britain for several weeks.”

“Radar was used for the first time in the famous Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. Germany had beaten France and driven the British army out of continental Europe but they still had to beat Britain to win the war.
The powerful Luftwaffe, the strongest air force in the world, attacked Britain for several weeks.”
Drop a comma, a full stop and some capitals. Britain is in Europe.
Radar was developed and used before the war but it was greatly improved by the Battle of Britain.
Added: "use a different word than beat or beaten. and change driven into drove."
"beaten" is perfectly good in that context and the correct participle, following "had", is "driven" - as you have written it.

I think it would go like this:
In the summer of 1940, radar was first used in the famous battle of Britain. Germany beat France and drove the British army out of Europe. But they still had to beat Britain to win the war. The powerful Luftwaffe, the strongest air force in the world, attacked Britain for several weeks.

The word "driven" is correct, since it follows the word "had." I would say "but they still had to defeat Britain to win the war" to avoid repetition. Also, it should be "Europe, but"

use a different word than beat or beaten. and change driven into drove. summer is not capitalized.

it is amazingly reliable and clean. in simple terms one factor: your dictionary has given the yankee spelling "prominent" while in English that's spelt "universal". decide for that's suited to your aim audience.
