Was It Possible For Invasion of Britain to succeed if Battle of France was won ? What would be resources needed for that ?
Not only is the Kriegsmarine too small and way too inefficient, the Germans had barely developed any landing craft minus a few hastily converted civilian vessels.
Where is Chris Nutall when you need him? (Right, banned).
He would argue about the Sealion...
True. Very Spanish American War, but then British carrier operations in the Operation Weserübung period were "strange".As everyone said, you can only push counter-factual history up to a point. Even if Hitler intended to invade England, he was a landlubber in thinking, he had no idea about the ships and naval doctrine. His decisions in regard to navy a conclusive in that regard. You need more than planes to support a naval invasion and the german logistics when it came to naval transports was terrible. Even the invasion of Norway used civilian yachts to transport soldiers across the Denmark Strait.
And carriers? Graf Zeppelin was built in 1935 and it stayed unused because Goring argued that anything that flies belongs to Luftwaffe, so he would not lend any planes to Raeder to be used on the carrier.
