The Luftwaffe was diverted to Russia in the summer of 1941. (Barbarossa) Initially the Germans were winning the battle, had they carried on attacking the sector airfields instead of bombing, principally, London, it is possible that Fighter Commands' main force would have needed to be diverted further north, had this happened then the British might not have been able to deny the Luftwaffe airspace in the effective way that they did. Having said all this the English Channel still appears to be an insurmountable obstacle for the Wehrmacht to cross. The answer to the question is that the Luftwaffe was losing the fight.

∙ 15y agoBecause of the insurmountable difficulty of crossing the channel. An invasion of England at that time, late 1940, would have needed a massive naval force & air superioity. Hitler had neither. In the east, against Russia he had air superiority & needed no navy at all.... It is obvious from the success the Germans had in 1941 & 42 against the Russians that had the Germans been able to cross the Channel then their land forces would have been very difficult for the British to defeat, but the difficulties of the sea crossing remain, compare & contrast with Overlord in 1944 going the other way..... Massive naval force & total air cover.

What was the first stop to Hitler and how did it effect later events?
I have seen this question for a while. The problem with the question is that it surmises someone did stop him. In reality no one stopped him even though there were over 40 attempts on his life and some high level Nazis did try to stop him many different times. Hitler was not really stopped until the Russians were within a mile of the bunker. He killed himself at that time.
