The Battle of Britain and Operation Sealion"...Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour'." - Sir Winston Churchill based on map by Tony Velasquez velasqua@grovenet.net 1. Background It is Summer 1940. France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Norway have all fallen under a swift German Blitzkrieg in a matter of weeks. The British, severely mauled in the continental fighting, have fled to their island home to await the inevitable German onslaught. The Germans plan to bomb Britain into submission. However, they do have another plan up their sleeves: Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain. Its a long shot and will be a desperate battle, but a land invasion will definatley take Britain out of the war.... there is little faith in the Luftwaffe's abilities apart from Goering and Hitler. Fortunatley (or unfortunatley depending) the Germans have given the British a few months breathing space since Dunkirk while trying to decide what to do. The British have not been idle and their defenses, whipped up into patriotic furvor and efficient production by Churchill, Beaverbrook, Dowding and others, is well prepared to meet any German challenge. 2.
