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.

If the ports are over run who refuels, rearms the ships that are now
toothless.

So you have to capture Portsmouth, Dover, Harwich, Hull and Scapa all in
the first day of the war?

Going to be an... interesting task.

Germany do a helluva a job resupplying their troops megamiles away in
Russia.

That "helluva job" had the front lines running out of fuel, ammunition
and spare parts even in 1941, and the winter clothing never did make it
through. The Germans never did get a grip on logistics.
