Inspired on another thread and on an article I found, I decidrd to make a thread focused on this issue.

What if after the Fall of France Hitler realize Sealion is impossible and thus the Battle of Britain has no point (if its ASBs for Hitler, he dies and Goring takes over), so he instead focus on attacking Britain's ports (in particular Liverpool) which brought them the supplies which allowed them to wage war?

As you can see here the port was extremely important:

In particular this part:

"Liverpool was the eastern end of a Transatlantic chain of supplies from North America, without which Britain could not have pursued the war."

Basically all the resources wasted in the Battle of Britain, preparing for Sealion and pointless bombings like London, are instead all focused in wasting Liverpool's port and other key ports to disrupt Britain of vital supplies?

How would this affect history?
