While I realise the Germans lacked any serious amphibious capability I am not sure thay could have or would have passed up the opportunity to land in Britain. |
I think that the Luftwaffe probably would have introduced terror raids on purpose (rather than by accident as happened historically) in an attempt to put more pressure on the UK to come to terms. There would be the possibility that Churchill would be forced to step down and be replaced by the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, but frankly I doubt this would have happened, for various reasons. There was a rumor that Halifax was not opposed to coming to separate terms with Hitler. If Churchill had remained in power then events would not have unfolded much differently from what happened historically.
