German Custard invasion of Britain

Now as we've decided invasion by air and tunnel isn't going to work, we need more lateral thinking here.

So I consulted the whales, and they came up with the following suggestion, courtsesy of them watching Braniac on TV.

If you pour custard powder into water, it produces a substance with the odd property that, although a liquid, you can walk across it. So we just need to put two barrages down in the channel to form a closed area (thats the Kreigsmarines job), dump enough custard powder (courtesy of the Luftwaffe) into it, and the Wermacht can just march across into England.

Simples!

Have YOU tried walking on (or through) custard? With full kit? Good luck with that! You'll disappear from sight, guaranteed. And even if you could walk on it (improbable) you certainly can't support the weight of tanks or other vehicles on it. On the plus side, at least your soldiers won't starve; they can eat the road.

As long as we're going for maximum silliness, how about dry ice? Simply have the Luftwaffe bomb the Channel with huge quantities of dry ice. The surface will freeze, hopefully solidly enough to drive tanks across, and as an added bonus the fog generated will conceal your troops as they cross.

I just know I'm going to regret saying that ...
 
The perhaps only flaw in this plan is that Göring wouldn't be happy since it doesn't include him in any way. Thus I propose a counter-plan: Floatplanes! They're planes, thus part of the air force, and they float! Line them up, and see as the soldiers jump from one to the other. I'm brilliant.
 
Custard is food. It's made from eggs and sugar. The British are hungry. Have you not seen how to disarm a man armed with a banana? Perhaps a little salty, but a pinta bitters in a fin glass would fix that.
