Hitler though that the Brits would give up and accept the peace terms. But as they declined, Hitler gave his support for the invasion.

But then again, Hitler was an idiot. He was like a little kid, everything had to be done the way he wanted.

Hitler's henchmen pushed the case Hitler had no real interest.

Hitler’s position was obviously crucial as without his support no invasion was possible.

So, Hitler had to had somekind of interest on invading the brits!

The man he was, I doubt that he would´ve had supported something that he didnt think as a good idea and worth a try.

But as I said earlier, he was a complete idiot.

you guys talking about the uk not lasting against germany after the nightmare start to the war remember we brits have lasted against many invaders and many threats in our long proud history not many countrys have lasted so long against so many enemies its the quality of the population that matters not the quality of the army the wehrmacht was the best army in the world at the time but the still lost because 1 man defending his home is more motivated than ten pressed men
