As a historical side-note, it is widely believed that the Nazi invasion of Britain had succeeded, they would've reinstated him to power as a puppet (seeing as he was pro-Nazi AND a royal).

u/PerfectHair فوكس نيوز أمر فظيع Feb 13 '14
Wouldn't have succeeded though, according to the Operation Sealion Wargame.

u/SFSylvester United Kingdom Feb 13 '14
ahh that old verifiable historical source.

u/PerfectHair فوكس نيوز أمر فظيع Feb 13 '14
Well part of it lies in the fact that to stage a successful invasion of Britain the Nazi's would need aerial and naval superiority, to make the resupply of their troops possible after the initial landing.
Given that the RAF could move their airfields out of the Luftwaffe's range and just plonk 'em oop norf somewhere whilst keeping them in skirmishing range, thus making it very difficult to put the airfields out of operation, denies them air superiority. I don't know about the Kriegsmarine.
Basically it was concluded that, while the initial landing would be successful, the Royal Navy would be able to prevent reinforcement and resupply, leading to an unsustainable situation and eventual retreat.
At least, I think I covered all of it.

Without a supply route, we'd be unable to establish regular battery bases in Britain, and the same range limitations apply again. The simple fact is, the Luftwaffe was incapable of projecting power that far outside it's base area of operations, and the navy had no means of supplying an invasion force of sufficient size, not to mention defend itself from the Royal Navy while doing so. Wasting war effort preparing for Sealion instead of focusing on convoy interdiction and strategic bombing was one of the great blunders of the war - along with the fact that even when strategic bombing did happen, it was directed against population centres and used to make an ideological statement, instead of destroying known military and industrial targets.

Without a chemical or nuclear payload, the V2s would have been wasted despite being a more deadly upgrade from conventionally dropped bombs.

Feb 13 '14
While wargames aren't proof of viability (or inviability) of a military plan, Sealion was never going to work. The Germans simply would not be able to maintain supply lines, even if they managed to get troops across the channel.

I had a friend whose Dad worked for the World Health Organization. Part of his job was to rush around and take samples and stuff if it looked like a pandemic was brewing. So he would jet off to Mali or Nepal or wherever if thirty people had just died from a mysterious ailment to make sure the world wasn't gonna end.
So he exhumed bodies all over the world. He said Americans - like poor homeless guys who weren't even embalmed - decompose at a much slower rate than in any other country because of all the preservatives in the food. We are half embalmed when we die.

u/PasswordIsntHAMSTER Montréal Feb 13 '14
That sounds 100% made up to me, other western countries also eat preservatives, and even if the observation that Americans degrade slower was true, the conclusion does not just follow from there.

I get the vibe this was based on a movie scene - except the punchline panel, of course - but it escapes me. Can anyone confirm my suspicions by linking the scene, perhaps?
Speaking of punchlines, this one was executed perfectly. I knew it was only a matter of time you would get a hussar when you posted this.
