Dear all,

This is a discussion also ongoing (sort of) on one of the other forums, but I take the chance to raise it here as well, due to the many good quality comments here.

Hitler was determined to invade France (case yellow) in October/November 1939.

1) Would it have been feasible? German logistics after the Polish campaign?

2) BEF was not in position at that time (some 120,000 troops vs. some 350,000 in May 1940)

3) The weather was not so good for another campaign



However: which plan could have been followed: the updated Schlieffen or the new Manstein?

Brooke himself states that if Hitler had invaded in 1939, it would have been disaster for France and England.

Now, calling on all clever people: Could it have been a possibility? What would have changed? Invasion of UK?
