World War Two 056 is here! (Patreon)

It seems that the war will not be coming to an end anytime soon, as this week the Germans decide to delay what could have been the end of it. It's still interesting to think about what would have happened, had Hitler not 'evaded and delayed', as he often did in times of doubt. In any case, I want to thank all of you for allowing us to go on with covering the war, and for being a part of this journey.

Cheers,

The Brits teach the Germans to bugger off! - WW2 - 056 - September 21 1940

The Battle of Britain continues as planes fight over the South-English shorelines and large parts of Londen are targeted during the Blitz. However, this week the ultimate goal of this air battle is postponed. The invasion of Britain, Operation Sea Lion, is called off. For now at least.

British fighters keeping them in the war. If the Germans did invade Great Britain in 1940 it seems inevitable that the British would fall like the rest. Also, I would love if there were episodes in conjunction with C&Rsenal, explaining many of the different infantry weapons of the war.

"If the Germans did invade Great Britain in 1940 it seems inevitable that the British would fall like the rest." Got to heavily disagree with you there. Landing on Britain is one thing. Being victorious on it is another. The Germans didn't land because they couldn't sustain an amphibious invasion. They're hard to pull off, and especially supply. Even if they landed the Royal Navy would have wrecked havoc with their transports, cutting them off from supplies and reinforcements. They wouldn't have been able to advance inland, and it's not like a landing would have just instantaneously collapsed British morale. Look at all the preparation that needed to go into D-Day; the Germans planned this (half-heartedly) in weeks, not years. The only thing that would be inevitable is that the landing force would have gotten torn up and marooned.

What would have happened if Hitler didn't call off Sealion? Well our friend Military History Visualized provides a breakdown of what an invasion of Britain would have entailed (spoiler: the Germans were fortunate they didn't go through with it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnPo7V03nbY

I believe the Germans would have been successful if they did have air superiority. I'm not saying the Germans wouldn't sustain heavy casualties. I think with the personnel advantage as well as better tanks the Germans would have been able to eventually break through British defenses after beach heads were formed. To say the British Navy would have been able to stop reinforcements and supplies from coming in in short sighted. The Germans could attack from the south, east, and north. It would have been a lot for the British to handle. The comparison to D-Day vs a potential British landing invasion is a odd comparison since the Germans had years to prepare defenses. The British were on their heels and if air superiority was won by the Germans things would have been much different.

I definitely follow TIK's opinion that Sealion was an idle threat designed and publicised to strike fear into the British and bring them to the negotiating table. It's not like the Germans had anything to gain from conquering Britain which they would not gain through a negotiated peace.

Great episode. Would be nice if you include more data of the german bombing raids and convoy sinkings.

Yes, but remember that D-Day was carried out by the two largest marine powers of the age, and they drew on lessons learned from disasters like Gallipoli and Dieppe. Germany was not a marine power and didn't have the experience in carrying out a marine invasion.

Not really buying that it was an idle threat. Don't forget the Germans could resupply through the air easily (if they had won air superiority) and the British Navy would have been greatly hampered by the German Air Force. If the Germans were able to knockout Great Britain early it would have easily freed up thousands of men to fight the Soviets. There was plenty to gain. They knew the British wouldn't surrender unless made to by force, Churchill made that very clear. Again this all has to do with the Germans winning the skies first.

The German Navy was strong enough to get supplies to and from England, especially with the Italians holding up British ships in the Mediterranean. Uboats were already devastating British shipping. Even so if the skies had been won by the Germans, the Germans were already experienced at attacking with paratroopers and dropping supplies that way. (They also displayed that in Crete, soon to come). I don't think the British would have had the resolve to last against the Germans after so many prior defeats. The Germans let momentum get away from them, let the British get stronger, started a war with the Soviets, and America entered the war. That was their undoing, not taking out Great Britain at one of their weakest points in the war.

I don't know why you'd think the Luftwaffe was anywhere near capable of supplying a large invasion force by air given how they were utterly unable to supply Paulus' Sixth Army at Stalingrad.

The German navy was not strong enough to "get supplies to England" even if the Luftwaffe controlled the day the RN would control the night. Para's are fine for local landings but unless relived by ground forces they are not going to last and Crete is a poor example no British air cover a relatively weak poor disposition of ground forces.
