You are dreaming. Very few War Historians believe that the English
Lion would not succumb in the event Germany had turned to England
rather then Russia.
How do they get there to inflict this defeat?
And even if they do get to England how does the German Army resupply?
The Royal Navy would find sinking unarmed merchant ships and barges in
the Channel a turkey shoot. Unlike land battles ordinary trunks on
ordinary roads/railways cannot be used.

That and the best Nazi plans never had very many men in England at D+1
or the ability to immediately replenish ammunition expenditures. Men
with empty magazines tend to be unable to fire their weapons. On the
other hand the British had lots of ammunition and the advantage of
mobility. The RAF and Luftwaffe probably wouldn't have much effect in
the immediate area since they'd be a tad busy discussing things at
altitude.
Had the Nazis been able to hold a piece of property for any length of
time they would have gone hungry, short of munitions and no way to retreat.
