I suspect what actually happened was that the Germans struggled ashore, ran out of everything and were arrested by Kent Constabulary for parking a Panzer on a double yellow line.
Was there really a plan to flood the sea with oil and set it alight?

Yes, but it was quickly dropped as impractical. more successful were exploding oil drums and plans to flood dips in the road with the stuff and set it alight. There were also eventually about 28,000 pillboxes of 20 different types (8 standard and 12 local types) constructed, as well as embrasuring of pre-existing walls and buildings, the stop-lines, improvised AFVs and other preparations.Was there really a plan to flood the sea with oil and set it alight?
Could a mix of luftwaffe and U-Boats do much damage to the RN (luftwaffe to go after the destroyers and RAF and U-Boats for the big ships)?
