What would I trade U boats for? Me.262's
Two or three hundred U Boats may or may not have brought Britain to her knees but three or four hundred Me. 262's put into service before the Battle of Britain just might have. Had they pushed it's development this could have been done. At 652 miles range that is more than a 109 with drop tanks. (621)
Operation Sea Lion just might have succeeded if Germany had air superiority and all those merchant ships would have had nooo place to go.
Britain wasn't in all that good a position to fight a big invasion and the US, no doubt would have declared war but we weren't in a very good position to be much help right away. The British would have had to hold out for quite some time before we could do much.
