  • Inspired by hypothetical Operation Sea Lion, the German invasion of Britain, that takes place in an alternate 1940. The cliffs of Dover, rocky beaches of southern England, and magnificent views. Kriegsmarine prepares all-out landing on the heavily defended beach, supported by navy Bismarck, Luftwaffe, and parachute division. British forces shall never surrender, and they will welcome Germans with heavy resistance and hold the line at all costs.
    This is a highly anticipated cinematic scenario, showing you epic scenes and all the best moments.

      Pretty sure that royal navy would've lobbed shells from both ends of the channel and send in waves upon waves of Fairmiles & Motor-torpedo boats alongside Destroyers and Light cruisers , the kriegsmarine wouldn't of stood a chance, let alone the troops on the barges / landing craft, then you had what would've been left of the RAF or so stationed further north etc , Sea Lion was doomed from the start honestly.
      Honestly in my opinion, Sea-Lion needed Luck more than anything else, aswell as logistics etc.

Moreover, the Channel was a death trap. Three boats sent into it by the Germans in October 1939 are still there, as are the remains of their crews.

    And that make Germany pulled back nearly 90% from their army to the Soviet border if Germany just focused on the allies on UK they would never had a chance to puch the German back

      @@youraveragescotsman7119 Sea Lion anticipated a RN response. Air supremacy over SE England was a precondition to blunt a RN run, while east and west minefields would protect Sea Lion’s supply from the Continent. Rail guns were to cover the Channel at its narrowest point. The Kriegsmarine would have made a last stand attacking the RN from the east. A Sandhurst study found the Germans would have likely landed three waves. There wasn’t much left of heavy equipment after Dunkirk for the Army to stage a determined defense and the Home Guard was even less prepared. The Germans may have overrun Kent before they began to be low on fuel and ammunition. German supply lines were naturally vulnerable to RN attack. Whether German air and sea power could have defeated or deflected the RN attack is supposition. Lord Halifax may have replaced Churchill if British losses were too high. He may have asked for ceasefire and Hitler would have agreed to it. It may have ended sooner politically than militarily.

    Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1974 did a war game on Operation sea lion. There were two teams of four players each (Land, Sea, Air, Political)
    German:
    Rudolf Rothenfelder, President of the Fighter Pilots Association in Munich and ex-Luftwaffe officer played Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering.
    Professor Rohwer, Director of the Military Institute in Stuttgart, played Adm. Erich Raeder.
    Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch was played by Colonel Wachasmuth, the Bundeswehr liaison officer at the Staff College.
    The German players were supported by their Defence Attaché in London, Admiral Schuenemann.
    British:
    British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was played by Brigadier Page, Assistant Commandant of the RMA Sandhurst.
    The people who played the British Home Forces Commander-in-Chief, General Sir Alan Brooke, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, Dudley Pound, are not recorded.
    They took all data that was available, especially on the Germans.....a lot kept by Russia.
    Conclusion of the war game showed that Germany would have lasted four days and of the 90000 troops used, roughly 15000 would returned back to France.
    Author Robert Forczyk, “we March against England, operation sea lion” (2016), support the 1974 war games when he got more documentation on the Germany.

    Obviously, it is hard to model in ll the features that Seelowe would have entailed and the results shown could be disputed over and over again, but I did enjoy this. I thought it was well-edited in terms of the flow of narrative and conveyed a flavour of what results were being conveyed.The likelihood of an invasion fleet never managing to cross the English Channel because the Royal Navy Home Fleet sank it wouldn't make too good a version; twenty minutes of quiet beach and some smoke in the distance.

      Before someone points out the Luftwaffe would take care of the Royal Navy: issue with that is the RAF wasn’t going to lose anytime soon, even without Hitler switching bombing targets to London. And even if they did, it would take more time for the Luftwaffe to deal with RN vessels that would be attacking the German invasion fleet than it would that the RN vessels to wipe out the German invasion fleet, so the RN would still have to be neutralized prior to the invasion…and by that point the RAF would have recovered.

    The Germans would see initial success here but as this dragged on it would eventually favor the British. The Germans would require extensive amounts of arms and armor to sustain momentum, the RAF and RN would be trying very hard to keep those supplies from ever reaching the Germans. Add to that the staggering amount of casualties the British would be trying to inflict. In short even if the Germans defeated England there’s no way they could have even attempted to invade the Soviet Union. They would have lost too many men, tanks and ships to attempt it. Not only that they would be up to their armpits in active resistance which would further deplete manpower as they would need to bring additional soldiers over for security purposes. To sum up, England is unavailable so we land in Italy and build our airbases there to hit Germany, or we set up bases in the Soviet Union to pound axis units with.

      IF Luftwaffe would win BoB and maintain air superiority over England's sky (and that was pretty close in the real timeline if Germans wouldn't switch their priorities on the English cities instead of continuing attack on the airfields as was originally planned) then RN would be pretty powerless against torpedo planes, Shnellbots, and of course UBoats which would have a field day on the channel waters...
      It's my guess, but I think the main wave of the attack would be a massive drop in the paratroopers which would size key coastal defense points (kind of Crete scenario but on a much bigger scale), and then more ground troops would be deployed via landing crafts (and YES KM DO have landing crafts in disposal... otherwise entire Sealion would be completely pointless from the very beginning) and troopships.

    Meanwhile, the Royal Navy Home Fleet has sortied out to meet and possibly crush the invasion efforts with the help of HMS King George V, her sister HMS Prince of Wales (of the King George V class Battleships), HMS Kent and HMS Suffolk (of the County class, Kent group Heavy Cruisers), HMS Norfolk of her group in the County class, HMS Exeter of the York class Heavy Cruisers, HMS Ajax and Achilles of the Leander class Light Cruisers, Both Town class, Edinburgh group Light Cruisers HMS Belfast and Edinburgh, J-class Destroyers HMS Jervis, Janus, Javelin and Jupiter, and Tribal class destroyers HMS Nubian, Mohawk, HMCS Haida and Micmac. This force will have to get through a screening fleet consisting of Both Scharnhorst-class Battlecruisers (Scharnhorst and Gneisenau), one or two cruisers, and a couple of Destroyers. Somehow I get the feeling that only Bismarck is available since this might make not just the game, but also your computer crash as well, but you get what I'm thinking about right?

    Doesn't seem like Operation Sea Lion to me. The Germans planned to use river boats and barges pulled by tugboats to cross the Channel. This required very calm seas as the boats could easily sink in any sort of heavy waves. They could also only travel at about 2-3 knots requiring hours to cross the Channel. I walk faster than this speed.
    To escort this flotilla, the Kriegsmarine had one heavy cruiser, 10 destroyers and a few dozen torpedo boats (not really suited for escort). That isn't some force allocated to the operation, that was all the operational surface force of the Kriegsmarine.
    Against this, the Royal Navy had just 6 battleships, 11 cruisers, 67 destroyers and several hundred smaller craft. That isn't the total Royal Navy, just the forces held back to defend the home isles. Additional battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, etc were escorting convoys or protecting supply lines in the Mediterranean.
    In the 1970s German military experts visited Sandhurst and gamed out how Operation Sea Lion might have gone. Among the experts for Luftwaffe capabilities: Adolf Galland.
    They had the Germans able to land almost 100,000 troops in Britain before their source of resupply and reinforcement was cut off.
    Against this invasion force the British Army had 21 fully equipped infantry divisions and two fully equipped and operational armored divisions. A third armored division had just formed up in August 1940 so would presumably not be ready. That's around 400,000 soldiers with effective supply lines fighting 100,000 enemy troops short of tanks and artillery who would be running short of ammunition as the battle progressed.
    The wargame ended within 6 days of the start of the operation with a total German defeat.

      The German Air force would had destroyed all British ships attacking the transports as they did in Crete and Norway.

      @@BigBossMan2000 The Luftwaffe may have destroyed SOME of the Royal Navy ships as they destroyed SOME of the Royal Navy ships in Crete.
      Norway is an odd example. The Luftwaffe, over the course of several weeks of operations, attacking some ships daily, managed to sink 1 cruiser and 2 Royal Navy destroyers (along with a French destroyer and a Polish destroyer). Most Royal Navy losses came from surface actions against Kriegsmarine vessels most of which were either sunk in the campaign or were too damaged to participate in Operation Sea Lion.
      Crete is a better example as over about a week (the likely time-frame for Operation Sea Lion to play out) they managed to sink 10 Royal Navy ships and damage about 20 more. Much of the damage can be credited to ships continuing to suffer attacks after running short of AA ammunition.
      The Royal Navy would not have so much difficulty with this operating so close to their bases of operations and with so many smaller craft mounting AA guns available.
      Also, unlike the battle of Crete, the Luftwaffe would have still been operating in contested air space. The Luftwaffe was aiming for air superiority over the Channel and the South of England. This falls well short of the air supremacy the Allies had at Normandy. And remember the Luftwaffe never managed to achieve air superiority.
      Inflicting twice the losses on the Royal Navy that were inflicted off Crete would still leave the Royal Navy with overwhelming force with which to hold off resupply or reinforcement.
      I gave Operation Sea Lion a 1 week time-frame because when German and British experts war-gamed it out at Sandhurst in the 1970s they had the invasion ending in an overwhelming German defeat within 1 week (6 days iirc).
      A German umpire for these wargames agreed that the Luftwaffe would not have been able to keep the Royal Navy from intercepting and pretty much destroying the invasion transports over the first few days of the battle. And while the Luftwaffe would inflict some casualties on the Royal Navy they could not inflict enough to make a difference in the result. This umpire's name was Adolf Galland. Google him. He knew more about Luftwaffe capabilities than either of us.

      No, the invasion would had worked.
      The Germans dominated the air over all Europe and would dominate the English Channel as well.

      The Germans were always outnumbered against the British in Africa and still won.
      Russia did not seem to scare them in 1941and only slowed by General Winter.
      Numbers would not be an issue....as it was shown in Crete.

      @@BigBossMan2000 North Africa was an environment that lent itself to mobile warfare and was an excellent environment for the 88mm Flak guns to operate as anti-tank weapons.
      The British did some of the earlier studies on mobile mechanized warfare but their top leadership didn't embrace it and with budget cuts in the 1930s they weren't implementing major changes in doctrine. Still, the British were not as bad as the French.
      The Germans translated the British studies and added it to their own analyses. It went very well with the Prussian principles of encouraging junior officers to take initiative and seize opportunities without having to wait for a change in orders.
      But the British and Commonwealth forces did outperform the Germans at positional warfare. If they could force the battle into this type of conflict, they could defeat the Germans. They did this at the Dyle where they repelled a number of German crossings and crushed the German beachheads. They held out stubbornly at Tobruk. And when the front narrowed to a choke point they could hold, such as at El Alamein, they could hold their own or win.
      The Germans could have won in Russia. If they were not tied down in a war with Britain at the time they would have won. If they could import oil into German ports their strategy could have been focused elsewhere to greater effectiveness in neutralizing the Red Army. Without early British support (with about 1/3 of the tanks defending Moscow in 1941 being British Matilda or Valentine tanks. Probably the biggest factor in the USSR holding out though was lend-lease food that kept the Red Army operational after much of their agricultural land had been taken by the Germans.
      Yes, the Germans were very very good at what they did. But the British were quite adequate at what they did. They weren't so much overrun in France and Greece as needing to withdraw when allies on their flanks were forced into retreat.
      Possessing initiative, the Germans could defeat the British with sufficient time. But the British were not going to allow the Germans this time. The fragile point for Rommel was the supply lines, and with efforts to break German codes they were effective at cutting these off. They got better at forcing Rommel to fight the sort of battle he wasn't as good at.
      More on this theme later but key point was that while they won a lot of battles in North Africa they failed to deliver the knock out blow.

    I'm halfway into Churchill's brilliant history of WW2, a six-part series 'The Second World War'. In book 2 he goes into extreme detail all of the reasoning behind Britain's plan to foil any invasion. Given British naval superiority and substantial airpower, it is highly doubtful that many German troops would have made it across the channel intact.
