(I have nothing against Britain. It is just for fun, I hope.)
Well first off as the man in charge I would have done all I could to boost German fighter production to replace losses and range so they could spend longer over Britain.

Secondly I would have drop kicked who ever was responsible for the decision that British radar was insignificant and concentrated on taking out radar and airfields and shipping in southern England and the channel (ie gain air superiority) where I would have a good chance at recovering any downed air crew as well as denying the return of British downed crew.

Thirdly I would have pushed the navy to do all possible to reduce convoys into England thus slowing up the English ability to replace losses.
