I bet youre one of the younger ones on here, i can tell by youre typing,
I dont think Germany had the resoucers and equitment to get too England.
It was a death sentence really.The only reason it was easy for the Germans to invade the other countries is that they were join up to them, and those countries had much weaker army than Germany.
England on the other hand, had a big army and the royal air/force and an Even bigger navy than the Germans did.
If the Germans knock out the English navey and the Royal/air force, then they could of enterd England.
Cheers

i think the only way they could have conquered britain was to kill them all, i dont think any of them would surrender on their own soil. if you ever met a british soldier , you would learn that fast. God Bless the UK

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

I totally agree with you on this.

Operation Sealion never materialized due to the incorrect picture of British forces and air and sea capability passed on to the Nazi High Command. Hitler was too nervous to actually move on Britian because of this inflated summary of resistance.

Operation Sealion did not happen because of Hitler’s failure to commit. He had, been overly concerned with false intelligent reports regarding the strength of the British military.

Hello, FTG. True about Jersey. Never really attacked by the Allies, too small and flat for armed resistance to emerge, generally civil relations between German Occupation forces and locals and local government and so on. This in spite of some problems imposed on all concerned by general German policy - for example, the continental developments that resulted in the expulsion from the Channel Islands of non-CI born residents to Germany as a “reprisal” for matters having nothing to do with the Islands. Also, following D-Day, the food shortage on Jersey became particularly acute for the isolated German garrison, who did not have access (at least directly) to Red Cross food parcels when these eventually arrived. Yours with best regards, JR.
