Operation Sea Lion: Hitler's Daring Plan to Invade Britain...

The Battle of Britain was one of the most unique and decisive battles in history. Fought almost entirely in the air, the defeat of Britain’s Royal Air Force would have opened the door to an invasion of Britain and the total subjugation of western Europe under the Swastika. Fortunately, the British defenders prevailed in what is remembered as their finest hour but while much is discussed about the battle for the skies, less is known about the efforts made to actually carry out the invasion had the German Luftwaffe won the Battle of Britain. This is the story of the trials and tribulations of the German preparations for Operation Sea Lion; the invasion of Britain. Welcome to Wars of the World.
