Hitler on the Doorstep: Operation 'Sea Lion' : The German Plan to Invade Britain, 1940

Translated from the German language edition (Bechtle Verlag, Munich; 1987), this account of Operation 'Sea Lion' describes the terror and uncertainty that spread throughout Europe and crossed the Atlantic to Washington in response to Hitler's later abandoned plan to invade Britain in the summer of 1940. The author, a German historian, questions how Hitler's decision not to invade Britain affected the outcome the war, and whether he ever truly intended to execute the operation he constructed.
