An army of 100,000 could easily turn out 1000 barges a day!
Low skill labor, I could organize that.
Use math, 30,000/month, disposable on the beach of choice.
No hoax, brits would "likely" be overwhelmed.

If all it took was barges you might be right.
If the barge production was unhindered you might be right.
If the barges got where they were going you might be right.
But all those "if's" (and a whole lot more) mean that the project was
never really feasible.
Ever wonder how the Allies supplied themselves after D-Day? *They
didn't have any functioning ports (and it's unlikely the Germans would
have had any). *So how did they do it? *Research that a bit and you'll
see that landing the invasion force is the "tip of the spear" but if
there's no "haft" behind it you just generate casualties.
Another interesting case study might be the invasion of Guadalcanal.
Look at our problems; look at the Japanese problems
Once again, amatueurs study tactics; professionals study logistics.
Look up "Mulberry"
