Sea Lion FTW!!!!
Look, you've been quite capable of posting vaguely coherent posts on other topics, so cut the l33t speak out NOW. As for Seelowe... look, there's bee so many different variants of it shot down by us over the years that we're kinda sick of it.

OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS!
No need for such a f***ing huge freakin smilie. And in an ironic twist, this accusation of trolling (probably justified in this case) comes from someone who's very few posts have also boarded on trolling...
 
That is a sad picture. :(

Even if it is an appropriate one for why Sealion is somewhere between physically impossible to launch in the first place and incapable of success if the British resist at all.

It's a sad topic. At least it died for a one thing : show how sucessful Operation Sealion is a dead cause.

The post itself edges on trolling. I almost wonder if their the same person.
 
To be fair to the guy, Sealion isn't totally ASB. All it needs is for Nazi Germany to focus alot more on the navy, which will naturally be detrimental to the army, which leads them to be defeated by France before they ever get close to England... hmm, prehaps everyone is right. Intervention by Godzilla doesn't count as ASB, right?

Yeah. As I understand it from the (limited part, for the sake of my sanity) reading I have done here, the best that can possibly happen is that Germany might be able to launch an invasion of Britain at some point after 1940 and before the US enters the war, if things go differently.

And that's assuming one of those things is the US not entering in 1941, obviously.

Short of that, you have to have a pre-1936 (nevermind 1939) POD.

Or total Britfail, of the sort that has never happened, ever. Even the Glorious Revolution level of resistance ought to be enough to cause trouble.

Well, he's technically not an alien, or a space bat...

I don't think even if they did focus more on their navy they'd be able to do it by 1940. Building up the kind of naval forces necessary for this would take a while - no matter how much in the way of materials one flings at it, ships take time to build.
 
Let's try something new...

So you think that SL may be a success. What would be necessary to achieve victory?
Please respond. This is fascinating stuff...
 
Okay, I'll stop this. I was just curious if the AH crowd would respond with a knee-jerk reaction, or actually try to answer this topic.

Close the thread, mods.

Alternative Historian, don't make me report you.

Godzilla is a known enemy of Japan, the only way he might help is to attack the Americans to keep them off his turf.

Ah, but wern't the Nazis close to persuading Godzilla to join them in their nuclear-power-sealion aided assault in Britain. And suppose they use bats that shoot lasers from their eyes as a replacement for the luftwaffe?...



Oh, come on, its still more plausable then most sealion scenarios. Plus, who couldn't reject a timeline involving Godzilla and nuclear powered sealions?

I went snorkelling last summer with a mate out at Two Rocks and had a large male Sea Lion swimming around near us, we only found out later that they will attack during the calving season.

Godzilla would just eat those sealions for the nuclear power. Maybe the Germans could get Battra though, he was a fan of killing a maximum number of humans.
 
The Sea Lion threads do get old but I've always wondered if a "successful" Sea Lion without a full blown invasion was possible.

Success via a political Sea Lion which allows the Nazi's free rein to go after the Soviets after giving back most of France, Holland, Norway, etc so that the need for economic sacrifices from the UK for total war is not needed. This would require Hitler and most of the Nazi's be eliminated so that a political settlement is possible so that whoever emerges in power can wage total war against the Soviets if they care to in 1941.
