That would be terrible...........!

Here is an alternative. My suggestion for the Germans to accept an invitation from the Irish to establish sea and air bases there wasn't really for the purpose of an invasion of the UK, that would probably not be necessary. It was more like an increased twist on the stranglehold of the North-Western Approaches.

Of course, Churchill would not give in because of that, he still had his cognac and cigars. Much of the supplies to England would then have to go on a northernly routing, even north of Iceland.

As a consequence of this Bomber Command would have to forget about Germany and strategic bombing to concentrate all their efforts to neutralize the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe bases in Ireland, mainly by night bombing, also to go looking for U-boats, something they were quite averse to in RL. So, the battle is still on.
