Overview

It's the summer of 1940 and the Nazis have crossed the English Channel to invade Britain. They advance North from the South coast and great swathes of Southern England come under German control.

Fiction, of course, but an invasion of Britain was planned by Hitler to take place in the summer of 1940 - how far would the Germans have been able to advance? Would they have been successful?

Synopsis

It's the summer of 1940 and the Nazis have crossed the English Channel to invade Britain. They advance North from the South coast and great swathes of Southern England come under German control. Fiction, of course, but an invasion of Britain was planned by Hitler to take place in the summer of 1940 - how far would the Germans have been able to advance? Would they have been successful?

  • Huge appeal of hypothetical scenarios
  • Reproduction of original German maps and briefing materials for the first time
  • Detailed information on the anti-invasion measures taken in Britain and records of actual installations still in existence
  • No comprehensive books have been published on it for over a decade
  • Contemporary photos of relevant places add to the local history appeal.
