商品簡介
This historical account of Operation SEALION, Nazi Germany's codename for the 1940 invasion of Great Britain, examines the parameters of the operation plans and shows how Battle of Britain and the Royal Navy were instrumental in blocking Germany from achieving their objectives. Hewitt is a first-time author who developed a passion for this subject while studying history at Manchester U., and he uses extensive research to provide a novel and somewhat controversial analysis of the balance between air and sea power to define the Nazi's ill-advised decision to halt the invasion in May 1940. The author also includes maps of the SEALION landings and locations of Royal Navy bases and stations to illustrate the movements of both Operation Dynamo and Operation Aerial.
