Tielhard said:Well maybe, but I am not convinced Bulgaroktonos, not only did the British think it a credible threat but the Germans went through with the preparations and appear to have taken them seriously however inadiquate they may have been. The period British and Germans both regarded Sealion as viable and I don't think the 'fog of war' would cover both groups so comprehensively. I still have trouble with reconciling the period views with the 2006 Alt hist forum view.
Bulgaroktonos said:IIRC, much of the German High command didn't think it was viable, hence the reason it was never seriously prepared for.
