WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most historians agree Sea Lion would have failed regardless because of the weakness of the German Kriegsmarine compared to the Royal Navy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most probable reason was that the German Army had overstretched its supply lines. The Germans did not have substantial resources to fight an urban battle against thousands of British and French troops.

Detailed explanation-3: -What was Operation Sealion? 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hitler explored military options that would bring the war to a quick end and ordered his armed forces to prepare for an invasion of Britain – codenamed Operation ‘Sealion’.

Detailed explanation-5: -Operation ‘Barbarossa’ had clearly failed. Despite the serious losses inflicted on the Red Army and extensive territorial gains, the mission to completely destroy Soviet fighting power and force a capitulation was not achieved. One of the most important reasons for this was poor strategic planning.
