Nope. At best the Luftwaffe could intervene in daylight if
they managed to win and maintain air superiority


Aren't we now working under the premise that the Luftwaffe won the BoB and
has air superiority over the channel and southern England?



BUT the
invasion force was going to take more than 24 hours to
reach the invasion beaches and the cruisers and destroyers
sortieing from Harwich cwould be in amongst them at
night in the same way the Japanese steamed down the
slot at Guadalcanal. The Germans had no equivalent naval force
to counter those raids.


Why must the German invasion force operate at night?
