Operation Sealion (Seelöwe)
The German Invasion of Britain - 1940

The purpose of this site is to provide information for Wargamers on the proposed German invasion of Britain in 1940 and to allow it to be fought on the wargames table. For that reason it assumes that the reader is fairly familiar with the British and German armies of the time and concentrates on what was special and unusual just for that invasion.

Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Hitler
If you think we’re on the run?
We are the boys who will stop your little game!
We are the boys who will make you think again!
'Cause, who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler
If you think old England’s done?
Mr Brown goes off to town on the 8:21,
But he comes home each evening and he’s ready with his gun.
