  • 222: The Battle About Britain Pt. 6 - Wait, This is Going to be Complicated
    This episode delves into the high-stakes planning behind Operation Sea Lion, exploring how German military strategists grappled with the immense challenges of invading Britain in 1940. As the Luftwaffe battled for air superiority, the planners faced a critical dilemma: balancing the necessity of an invasion with the uncertain feasibility of achieving the required dominance over the Royal Air Force. Tensions mounted between the German Army and Navy staffs, who had to navigate logistical, tactical, and strategic uncertainties within a tight window of just a few months. With the fate of the invasion hinging on a single, precarious condition—air superiority—the episode reveals the complexity and risks of one of WWII’s most pivotal decisions.
