Most likely a bit ASB but...what if Churchill was to make the Luftwaffe think it had control of the air, so S*****n is launched...and then the RAF comes out of hiding and the Royal Navy joins in, sinks all the barges/troops and shatters the Kreigsmarine's whole surface fleet and some of it's submarines, humilating Hitler?
 
How would he do that? The Germans would more likely take the opporunity to just shitbomb London (even more) and other points if he kept the RAF down.
 
That...would...be.....bad.... Just can't trust anybody who speaks English. Yes, if the German Navy attempted to support Sealion, then they would be wiped out by the Royal Navy. The German soldiers would land, since the Luftwaffle could give them initial support. But attrition would take its toll on the aircraft, and they could not keep it up indefinitely. Nor could they effectively supply the invasion forces.
It would be a debacle, no doubt about it.

Well if this occurs within the first couple of days of the Battle of Britain, London might get spared - for a little while.
