Then Chamberlain returned home victorious, waving his signed piece of paper in the air, declaring crisis to be averted, and the continuation of World Peace. And we built a statue of Chamberlain in his honor and every day on the 30th of September we celebrate Chamberlain Day

UK: So your plan is to defeat the worlds most powerful navy in some of the roughest seas in the world.
Germany: Yes.
UK: And how many surface ships fo you have?
Germany: 3
UK: and how many aircraft carriers?
Germany: Dont need em.
UK: Ok you have fun with that.

We Wish to have a feature episode about the Chiang Kai-Shek's Northern Expedition

Sea lion had no chance of working. Germany just didn’t have the naval power and logistics for an opposed beach landing, not least one fighting against the worlds most powerful navy. You only have to look how difficult it was for the allies landing in Sicily and Normandy to see how difficult it was.

Suddenly everyone's a ww2 historian just by playing hoi4

[mexicoball]

HoI4 players and wehraboos explaining how Sea Lion could have been possible if Germany had build transport planes and paradrop into England after destroying the RAF...

The British be like: "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna turn around, and surrender"

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Imagine if he did the complete history of the DPRK

[fatmanwalking]

Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz said he needed 300 submarines to starve Great Britain, he had 60...

13:16 you left out the part where British naval captains repeatedly asked the French captians to join them and fight against the Germans. It was only after it became clear the French were collaborating that the British sunk the French fleet.

[Peacekeeper]

Notice how they refuse to say Hitler?
Almost like it's an auto defunding

It's astounding how much the animations have improved from their videos two years ago.

To quote Shakespeare (Richard II):

"This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands."

Thank God for the English Channel and the North Sea. 🙂

D-Day, where the Allies had complete Air and Naval supremacy and the axis were getting their asses kicked by the Soviets, was still considered a very risky operation and proper German response could have caused a disaster.

For Sealion they dont have any of those advantages and would be facing the might of the british empire on their own homeland. Yea, good luck with that.

[StarGate]

German only focus to army than navy

And japan more focus to navy than army...

Caesar would have not been surprised by all these issues with landing in Britain

[generaladvance]

It was a pretty stupid idea really. It took the allies years to get the men, resources, ships, armour and specialised landing craft together to even attempt the Normandy landings. It was a smart move to call it off, lest it turn into a reverse Dunkirk but with no escape.

[Finglesham]

The British did request the French to surrender. They declined and had to be destroyed. I blame the French leaders for the men's deaths. We could not let the ships go to the Nazis.
