Can somebody refer me to the thread where Operation Sealion is supposed to have been refuted?
Oh my you've mentioned the sea mammal that shoud not be,Shame on you.
First the UK is not going to fold up it's tents because it's occupied, Second to sucessfully conducta successful cross Channel invasion takes way more naval power and expertise than the German's had.

But I do not see why you can't understand my arguments...
1. The Me262 should have been pushed into production a lot sooner, so by 1940 you have like... 500 of them flying over the channel.
2. The Germans speed up the Elektro-Boats construction, they go into Scapa Flow and sink all the British ships. The channel is mined. The Italian Fleet makes an appearance outside Gibraltar, engages the Brits, crosses the straits and moves towards Great Britain. At the same time, Franco gives in and lets the Germans take Gibraltar.
3. The German Army engineers build pontoon bridges over the Channel, so that the Panzers don't need to use the barges but simply roll over the channel. They assured Hitler anyway, that the Channel crossing would not be more difficult than a river crossing.
4. German flying saucers fly over from the Antarctis and zap Churchill.
So? I find it highly plausible that this could work!

Oooh...the two words you can never say in an alternate history forum: "Sealion successful"
Just don't do it!!

You have all forgotten the one possible way it could succeed. POD is in the mid thirties Grand Fenwick becomes a fascist state and allies itself with Germany. After the German army over-runs France Hitler asks Grand Fenwick what the are going to do to contribute to the war effort, so they send 12 longbow men to Cherbourg, charter a french trawler, sail across the channel to land in England, the English army and government surrender before their fearsome might to avoid annihilation !
