So, while coming up with ideas for an alternate timeline, I had myself thinking: since Operation: Sea Lion would have been a failure had it been implemented, I was thinking: what happens after Sea Lion fails in ATL? More importantly, what would be the effects on WWII overall of such a disaster for Nazi Germany?

NOTE: For the purposes of clarity, I am going to add in a little bit of detail to the scenario.

Around early 1941, following the failure of the RAF to secure air superiority over Britain, German paratroopers are deployed in Brighton and Dover. After a day or two of fighting, the Brighton unit is wiped out while Dover's paratroopers are able to establish a beachhead (barely). However, days later, as some of the second wave gets across, the Royal Navy blockades the place, while days pass and the Germans go as far as Rochester before being beaten back. The Kriegsmarine tries to help the Third Wave get across, but the majority of it [the third wave] gets sunk and Dover is liberated.
