| Operation Sealion, Nazi Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom in 1940, is [[alternate history:alternate history cliches|one of the most derided PoDs ever]]. Some reasons for this are the horrible planning for it (the Germans planned to cross the Channel in //Rhine river barges//), the very low chance of success, and how often AH [[offtopic:n00bs]] have called it plausible. | Operation Sealion (Operation Seelöwe), Nazi Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom in 1940, is [[alternate history:alternate history cliches|one of the most derided PoDs ever]].
