Operation Sealion.
During World War II, Operation Sea Lion was Nazi Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom. Operation Sea Lion was postponed on September 17, 1940 and never rescheduled.
Operation Sealion (German: Unternehmen Seelöwe). Because the Germans were defeated in the Battle of Britain, they scrapped the mission; as it required air superiority over the English Channel. It was indefinitely postponed on September 17th, 1940.
The code name for the proposed German invasion of England was Code Name Operation Sealion. Immediately after the defeat of France in June 1940, Adolf Hitler ordered his generals to organize the invasion of Britain. The invasion plan was given the code name Operation Sealion. The objective was to land 160,000 German soldiers along a forty-mile coastal stretch of south-east England. Within a few weeks the Germans had assembled a large armada of vessels, including 2,000 barges in German, Belgian and French harbours. However, Hitler's generals were very worried about the damage that the Royal Air Force could inflict on the German Army during the invasion. Hitler therefore agreed to their request that the invasion should be postponed until the British airforce had been destroyed.
This was the Schlieffen Plan. Which involved Germany going through neutral Belgium to (surprise) attack France. Then they would turn around after fighting France and then go after Russia whose slow (not-industrialized country/) army would be ready now. this plan did not work very well. they took to long fighting France mainly.
