Hitler hoped to invade of Britain in 1940 by sending barges filled with troops and equipment across the English Channel. For the invasion to succeed, the German Luftwaffe would need control of the skies (otherwise the invasion armada would be sunk by the RAF). In the Battle of Britain the Luftwaffe failed to demolish the Royal Air Force and, as autumn approached, Hitler cancelled his plans for invasion.

If Britain had been conquered by Germany it is probable that the war would have been carried on by the British Empire, but there would have been nowhere from which to launch air attacks on Germany or to prepare the D-Day forces which liberated northern Europe.
