Detailed explanation-1: -Operation Sealion was the code name for Nazi Germany’s planned invasion of Britain. It was supposed to take place in September 1940 and, had it been successful, would have completed Adolf Hitler’s domination of western Europe. In the preceding months, the German Army had already swept across much of the continent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Serious planning work began for Operation Seelöwe (Sealion), in July 1940, following Britain’s rejection of Hitler’s final offer of a negotiated peace settlement. Hitler wanted an immediate invasion to prevent the British army recovering from its defeat in France. All this was to be completed by 10 August 1940.
Detailed explanation-3: -What was a result of Operation Sea Lion? Hitler gave up his plan to invade Britain. Why did Germany invade the Soviet Union? Hitler wanted the country’s natural resources.
