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.
He did defeat France in May of 1940. In preparation for the invasion of England he tasked the Luftwaffe with defeating the RAF so that the invasion fleet would be safe from air attacks. The Lufwaffe failed to defeat the RAF and the invasion was cancelled and instead Hitler turned his army east and attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941.
