So succesfull sealion would require Breakthrought decade ahead. Germany to win on Eastern front by 1943. Pushing Invasion Overlord back and then building program and all that topped by Technological breakthrought decade ahead. Impropable, but not ASB. Which means we might have non ASB sealion.

Provided that Russia reaches the Channel in 1945 and then spends 10 years on rocket and cruise missile research... correct. There could be a Морской лев. ("Operation" Sea Lion.) It just won't be the Germans doing it. Now aren't you glad for OVERLORD? Or as the Russians put it, "Большое разочарование Сталина". ("Stalin's Great Disappointment.").

That's right in there with Plan W from Outer Space which has the UK invade the Irish Free State to prevent Operation Green.
HAHA! I love obscure rediculas Millitary plans that are absolutely terrible!Here's some comment. (There are ads, I admit, but they look interesting.)

If the Germans delayed Barbarossa, and were really intent on invading Britain what was to stop them from consolidating gains on mainland Europe and simply outproducing the British in airpower and either bombing them into oblivion or taking command of the skies and seas that way?
Germany can’t stay stable long enough, not enough resources coming in.
Then they have to buy a LOT of stuff to feed most of Western Europe and supply a proportionally massive military that leaves few able bodied people to work.
Here's a book on Amazon in which the British deliberately lure the Nazis into launching Sealion. You can read the first two chapters as a preview. From those chapters it appears brilliantly written and the scenario well thought-out. Good and historically believable portrayal of characters. https://www.amazon.com/Sealion-Drow...59A406VX95J&psc=1&refRID=A1A4RGRSC59A406VX95J

Yes it is!! Thank you so much, you have no idea how long I've been searching for that thread again lol.
I have just finished reading Entering the Rhineland, and as someone with varied editorial and writing experience over almost 50 years, I wish to say that this is the first thread I've read that could, with virtually no editing, be guaranteed of acceptance by one or more of the top 10 science fiction & fantasy magazines today. Indeed, I'd send if off after only an hour of light copy editing. I'm not sure if it classifies as a long short story or a short novelette, but it is truly professional writing. If the author has never considered publishing it, he should consider it now.
Please note that this is not meant to demean the many excellent threads here of much longer length. Some of them could be published, either in whole or in part, but they would require substantial rewriting, tighter plotting and more character development. My judgment about Entering the Rhineland is that it's "good to go," in part because the author understood how to keep it tight.

Can anyone give a breakdown of the relative fleet strength of the Royal Navy vs. the combined Kriegsmarine /Regia Marina in the European theater circa 1941?
