Which was more feasible Napoleon's planned invasion of England or Hitlers during WW2?

Both are often dismissed here but in practically which had the larger chance of success?

Nappys, hands down. If for no other reason that we're still dealing with a pre-mechanized and only semi-industrial army, so the ability to live and retain combat effectiveness (mostly) off he land or manufacture/salvage of supplies on the march is still somewhat possible. The Army of Britain could keep in cannonballs (or at least solid stone) bread and wine, barrel loaded measures of powder, ect.: the same could not be said for the Heer in terms of shells, petroleum, and specialized vehicle parts
 
Napoleon by far. The Ottomans wouldn't expect a random French guy attacking Egypt out of nowhere with such a large army, unprovoked, or without any buildup in tension. Also considering the fact the Ottomans were at a relative state of peace, and couldn't send reinforcements fast enough to such a surprise invasion.

What? England is under Ottoman control during the 19th century? And its called Egypt?

I think you might have confused England with Egypt... They both starts with E after all.
 
I didn't mention England.

I thought the discussion is About
"Napoleon's planned invasion of England or Hitlers during WW2?"
I might missundestood the discussion since English is not my first language but I thought we are comparing Napoleon planned invasion of England and Hitler's plan

Oh wait. I'm an idiot. I read Egypt, not England.
 
Napoleon's.

If the 1805 (or 1810) Royal Navy suddenly deciding that playing with lit matches inside the magazines of their ships was a great sport that needed to be instituted immediately, and everyone followed through, the subsequent disappearance of the RN could result in a successful invasion for the French.

If the entire 1940 RN decided that playing chicken with icebergs, and that backing down was for something that only other people would do, the subsequent disappearance of the RN still wouldn't be enough to allow a successful invasion.
