Of course, then some smartass (like me, for instance :) ) will question whether Germany could have afforded 10,000 v2s and whether a passenger would survive reentry. Don't we all just hate people like that? :D
Sorry. Didn't bother with the smilie as I thought the sarcasm was self-evident.

10k troops without equipment would be useless anyway, especially scattered across half of England. The cost/amount of resources would be ASB for Nazi Germany. Surviving reentry, while tough, really tough, might just be doable. IMO, that's the least of the problems involved.
 
You know, that actually makes me wonder if there's a cable material that could reach that distance without sagging into the sea along the way.

Just build the tower high enough to allow for the sag.;) My concerns are:

a) Whether you could hang on long enough to make it all the way across the Channel. Riding a zip line for a couple hundred feet is taxing enough; doing so for twenty miles is going to be a bit of a stretch (pun intended).

b)How fast you'll be going when you arrive at the end. Anything over twenty MPH or so is likely to result in a large number of injuries.

c)The zip line is fine for infantry with weapons and equipment. The rest of the army crosses how, exactly?

Bigger zip lines! Attach panzer or pallet of supplies at one end, sling it across the channel, detach when it has come to a halt at the other. Simples!
