History of Sorts

I had a great interview with Kevin Harrison, a budding author, about his book- Churchill’s ACES – Sealion Returns-. We discussed how difficult it is for new authors to get a book published nowadays, but also of course about his book and the inspiration behind it. Operation Sealion was the plan by Nazi Germany to invade the UK and Ireland

Operation Sea Lion was Nazi Germany’s planned invasion of Britain during World War II, intended to follow the German victory over France in 1940. The operation aimed to land German forces along England’s southern coast and quickly conquer the country. However, the success of Sea Lion depended on Germany achieving air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF). After the Luftwaffe failed to defeat the RAF during the Battle of Britain, Hitler indefinitely postponed and eventually canceled the invasion. Operation Sea Lion remains one of the most famous “what if” scenarios of the war.
