However the RAF could still have sallied forth to defend against an invasion and the Germans simply had neither the resources to get the invasion force across the channel or any way of stopping the RN from chopping their force to bits. Wouldn't the Luftwaffe be a way of stopping the RN from chopping their force to bits? No, not at the time. the Luftwaffe did not have "air superiority" over the Channel, or over Britain. Would the RN have lost ships? Probably, but not enough to deter or defeat them. The Germans had no effective landing craft or amphibious warfare ships, and would have been annihilated in trying to cross. Not if the BoB had been lost. Grantland Al Minyard |
