I have a question for my fellow AH members.

A few days ago I was talking with a friend of mine who is a history professor at a local university, and is very well read. We started discussing World War II - one of my favorite periods in history - and he told me that the Nazis had developed a plan to invade the U.S. I had never heard of this before save in fictional or hypothetical accounts.

While he gave few details what he did tell me was first the plan entailed a successful Sea Lion. It then posited the Germans seizing the British Fleet at Scapa Flow. They would then use the British Fleet to invade the U.S. aiming to seize our major port cities on the east coast and thus have the means to bring in more troops to invade the interior. The plan was named purportedly Case Gold.

Has anyone here ever hears of this Case Gold, and if so could you give me more information on this?

Thanks!
