Better watch your mouth, or you'll have yourself a tragic "friendly fire accident".

Sorry for confusing you, airwolf. These pictures are from a scenario I made in the SH editor in connection with a study on Unternehmen (Operation) Seelöwe (Sealion). As you might know Sealion was the planned German invasion of England - never launched but was intended to take place in September '40. Latest launch date (S-10) would eventually have been Sept. 17th with the first actual landings taking place Sept 27th (S-day).

Important part of the Sealion plans was the demolition of the Royal Navy in its ports by the Luftwaffe during the 8 days (from S-8) leading up to the invasion (S-day). I used the SH editor as a simulation of this placing a representative numbers of RN ships in Portsmouth together with a like number of Luftwaffe units - Stukas, Ju88's and He111's - attacking them. Coupled with similar missions "flown" in the BoB game the results were quite impressive. If anything, the AA of ships and on ground - as the fighter defense - was much too effective compared with real life statstics.

In real life a campaign like this was not tried by the Luftwaffe since the Sealion was never launched and its resources was squandered over London.

More to SH - Dønitz planned to use all his resources on the operation, too. To the cost of crew training, ship building and merchant warfare. His opinion was that if the operation succeeded as a whole the need for all these parameters would diminish substantially. So, it would be worth it.

First wave approaching the English coast - a Swordfish doing its best:




Here is a scenario I made of the RN interdiction on the invasion fleet's right flank and the Luftwaffe response:




Southampton is having problem with the Luftwaffe:




As has its destroyer escorts:




The Fiji got through with devastating results:




But one of Dønitz's boys was across its track:
