In May 1940 Nazi Germany was master of continental Europe, the only
European power still standing was Great Britain - and the
all-conquering German armed forces stood poised to cross the
Channel. Following the destruction of the RAF fighter forces, the
sweeping of the Channel of mines, and the wearing down of the Royal
Naval defenders, two German army groups were set to storm the
beaches of southern England. Despite near-constant British fears
from August to October, the invasion never took place after first
being postponed to spring 1941 before finally being abandoned
entirely.
Robert Forcyzk, author of Where the Iron Crosses Grow,
looks beyond the traditional British account of Operation Sea Lion,
complete with plucky Home Guards and courageous Spitfire pilots, at
the real scale of German ambition, plans and capabilities. He
examines, in depth, how Operation Sea Lion fitted in with German
air-sea actions around the British Isles as he shows exactly what
stopped Hitler from invading Britain.
