Could Hitler have taken over Europe?

The German's would have had to take on the Royal Navy to have any chance of an effective invasion of England and there was no way the Germany Navy had a chance against the Royal Navy, Anyway Hitler liked the British he always wanted a British German alliance that would rule the world he was quoted as saying the best day of his life was the signing of the Anglo German Naval agreement of 1935 and he sent out diplomats in an attempt to sign an alliance with Britain, the BBC did a good documentary on this about 10 years ago called Nazi's a warning from history.

Stupid post.

The British Navy in waters as little as 20miles wide would have been utterly decimated from the air.

Thats why Germany needed air supremacy not naval supremacy.

They didn't have air superiority though. Germany needed both to get transports across the channel.

And guess who fucked up Germany's chances of having a good navy? Yes it was that idiot Adolf Hitler, who dumped ridiculous amounts of resources into the Bismark instead of consolidating his force of destroyers, aircraft carriers and u boats.

This is not a stupid post at all have you ever seen the strategic battle that they did in the 1970's they got together all the main people still alive in planning the invasion of Germany with the people that were involved in planing the defense of Britain to work out what would have happened and the decisive factor according to experts was the Royal Navy remember that with air cover from the RAF and Fleet air arm the Royal Navy would have been able to operate in the channel, If you don't believe me there was a documentary on channel 4 about the whole defense of Britain, its not really a stupid post as i have done a bit of research into this matter.
Remember that the Navy would not have operated in a battle line like they did in previous conflicts smaller destroyers would have been operating in this area with great numbers causing all sorts of problems to supply lines, Germany would have been completely over stretched in any effort to protect these lines and to think that you could try and conduct a landing without any Naval cover is pretty stupid the whole point is to have an organic operation the navy would be able to get an air screen from a carrier force or land based planes enabling them to operate in the area the fast destroyer force would have caused havoc to any landing operation plus not to forget the mining of the channel by the royal navy, just look what the naval force at D-Day was able to do, The Royal Navy sub force is also vastly underrated which would give us another boost.

This is assuming that no one archived full air superiority though.

The study i was talking about was the Sandhurst War Study of 1974, i was trying to find a youtube video of the program but there isn't one there is a wiki page that gives a brief look at the defense of Britain, i have extract a short section of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British...f_World_War_II

Scholarly consideration of the likely outcome of invasion, including war games at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1974, agrees that while German forces would have been able to land and gain a significant beachhead, intervention of the Royal Navy would have been decisive and, even with the most optimistic assumptions, the German army would not have penetrated further than GHQ Line and would have been defeated.

The program was called the real dads army its really worth a watch some of the stuff on there was very interesting.
