They planned to invade Britain in 1940 with Operation Sealion. To facilitate this invasion, they first had to neutralise the RAF (Royal Air Force). They were unable to do this, so their planned invasion was postponed indefinitely and they invaded Russia instead.

Why did the Germans invade England?

The Germans did not invade England in modern times such as during the first or second World Wars. Some German tribes did invade England around the 5th century AD, ending the Roman-British culture established there by the Roman Empire. The main reason the Germans didn't invade in the 2nd world war was the British fought and won against the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, meaning the British had air superiority. It would be suicidal to attempt air or amphibious invasion without air superiority, therefore the Germans didn't invade.
