And what exactly do you imagine the RAF and FAA are doing all this time? Also the notion of Goering releasing Luftwaffe units to the navy is simply impossible if you take account of the characters of the people involved.
Again, the myth that no Nazi leader ever changed their mind.
Hitler, the man known for refusing to retreated in Russia, was also the man prone to retreat in Norway. He had to be talked out of pulling his troops out of Narvik.
Only if, as so many assume, the RN are battleship obsessed dinosaurs who can't respond to reality. If the Germans try such an approach the British will move to counter it. More AA, more more minesweepers, more destroyers, more carriers. Oh and lets not forget that this air force designed to fight a battle the Germans weren't planning on is going to come out of the resources intended to build the Luftwaffe capability to support the army in the battles Germany is planning on fighting.
People keep forgetting that up until the Battle of Britain the Germans were still hoping to make a deal with the British, they were never a priority for German planning until far too late.
Wiking did not say the RN would not respond, the has the Germans with a net benefit.
You seem to take the position that if the Germans had used more resources to try to beat the RN, then the RN does better. The logical corollary is if the Germans don't use mines, airplanes and U-boats, the UK has a HARDER time winning the war.
