Well, it is the Empire which declared the war on Germany on 3 September 1939, and not the other way around.

As for the state of German Intelligence, the picture was really mixed - some notable successes, and some dismal failures. I read somewhere, must have been here https://books.google.ie/books/about/...AJ&redir_esc=y, that Milch ordered a couple of books from English bookstores, which told him more about Britain that he could learn from his own intelligence. Anyway...

In the run up to the war, aerial reconnaissance over Great Britain occurred in 1939.
