sealion

The Letter It was a crisp autumn evening. The little lorry rattled over the tiny railway crossing and into the courtyard. Out stepped two men, one short and fat, the other long and thin. They strode out towards the farmhouse, dropped a letter into the slot, and rang the doorbell. Ding-dong...

Hello everybody, this is probably the first time someone brings the stupid concept of sealion to a less stupid scenario than having the Nazis to get it. So, in a very generic scenario, the French collapse in 1914, and so the kaiser decides to try to invade the UK. No major naval battle has been...

Alright, something that has been in my head lately There's some TLs where Britain is invaded successfully and others where the british government is overthrow, usually resulting in the brits pulling a Portugal and moving to their american colonies with Kaiserreich's Dominion and Code Geass's...

"Unmentionable Sea Mammal!", you say! We've discussed this thousands of times, get out! Just, wait. This has absolutely nothing to do with the operation itself, everbody knows it would fail, but I want to know, what if Sealion was less prominent in alternate history? What if the initial...

AH.com has already had many arguments and discussions and rants about why Operation Sealion was a hopeless endeavour (which i totally agree on), but, oddly, i haven't seen as many discussions on the unlikelihood of German success in Operation Wacht am Rhein, also known as the Battle of the Bulge...

Before you all go running for the hills, screaming, please hear me out. We’ve heard, and said, countless times that Sealion as planned could never had succeeded. So... If you had the ear of Hitler, and he was predisposed to listen to what you had to say, how would you adjust the German war...

As many have argued, Sea Lion is inpossible for the Germans to carry out in 1940/41 due to man6 causes including the lose of German naval units during Norwegian operations. My question is, would the forces be arguably successful in landing on England’s east coast instead of Norway?

In the german wiki about "Unternehmen Seelöwe" (operation Sealion) there's a section : Politische Manöver (political maneuvers) In its last paragraph it mentions a study ordered by the War Cabinet that came to the conclusion : " ... , dass die Royal Navy als entscheidende Waffe gegen eine...

How do you make Operation Sealion have a 1% chance of succeeding, instead of a 0% chance?

I mean we all know just how bad the attempt went for the Germans. The invasion was defeated in mere days. What if Hitler had never attempted his plan?

Putting this here since it's more a military question that (arguably) relies on ASB intervention, but I'm fine with the thread being moved if need be. Basically, what it says on the tin. Assuming some kind of successful SEALION/SEALION-esque campaign (that is, a successful invasion and...

With a POD in 1939, make the UK submit to peace terms with Nazi Germany and end the European War in the western front - essentially, the operation succeeds because it was diplomatic, not military. Bonus if the peace terms leads to a British civil war, in which the Nazis are "forced" to intervene

As we all know, the Kaiserreich had concocted a plan to launch an invasion of the Union of Britain during the Second Weltkrieg. However, that plan never reached fruition and was shelved. My question is what if Operation Sealion had gone ahead as planned? Would it have been as successful as the...

I apologize for bringing in the the unspeakable sea mammal, but I feel as if there is a question about this subject that has not been answered on my mind. I am not here to debate whether it could be a success. I am AWARE that how it was done historically could NEVER have worked at all. Just...

Now, I know you guys tend to make fun of threads like these, but I can't get the idea out of my head. What if Sealion had failed?

... we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields...
