Strategy & Tactics Quarterly 34: Sealion: Lost Opportunity or Disaster Averted

Following the collapse of France in the spring of 1940, Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany. Hitler subsequently ordered preparations for Operation Sealion, the proposed invasion of Great Britain. But was such an invasion ever truly feasible, or was it doomed from the outset?

Issue #34 of Strategy & Tactics Quarterly, published by Decision Games, delivers an in-depth historical examination of one of World War II's greatest "what if" questions. The magazine explores German planning, operational preparations, naval and air challenges, and the historical debate surrounding Hitler's intentions.

Beyond the invasion plans themselves, the issue also examines alternative German strategies for defeating Britain, including an air and naval blockade and Grand Admiral Raeder's Mediterranean strategy. Packed with historical analysis, maps, photographs, and illustrations, this edition offers a comprehensive study for military history enthusiasts and strategic studies readers alike.
