I know the dreaded water mammal is not to be spoken of but for the sake of this let us assume the plan for the invasion occurs sooner, say on May 21 1940 when Erich Raeder approache dHitler with the idea of such an invision. Hitler turned away from it, but in this matter he decided it was a grand thing to plan for. So the Battle for Britain starts in June, and by July the Germans start coming over the straits of dover. Thanks to having more tanks, and gear the Germans have a victory by August.
Now the interesting thing is that in every such event we always assume Hitler will go at the Soviets. In this case I see no difference, yet what gets to me is the numbe rof men around for Hitler to use. In Norway the Nazi's had 100,000 men holding the area down, and in this case we have the UK a nation preparing for such an invasion.
So what would hold down the UK 200,000? 500,000? A million soldiers? Throw in partisans, passive ressitance and the UK on paper seems like a much worse version of Yugoslovia.
With such ideas in mind, how soon does Germany loose to the Soviets? Does America become largely involved in the European theater? Or is it limited to North Africa, and England?
