None of the other invasion or ship attack examples are really
relevant, in others one side was far from their main bases or had been
weakened unequally by previous fighting, examples are Sicily and
Leyte. Sealion is the only instance between similar air forces close
to home which have to attack one set of ships while defending another.

The RAF did NOT have to attack one set of ships, its task was to prevent
the Luftwaffe attacking the RN

There was an completely unequal balance of force between the
RN and the Kriegsmarine in favour of the RN

I suspect that like an irresistible force striking an immovable object

The Luftwaffe was not irresistible - see Battle of Britain

there would have been an inconceivable concussion resulting in
irreparable damage.


To the Wehrmacht as most post war war games have shown and
the smarter German commanders knew.
