Operation Sealion was the name given by Hitler for the planned invasion of Great Britain in 1940. Operation Sealion was never carried out during the war as the Germans lost the Battle of Britain and it is now believed that Hitler was more interested in the forthcoming attack on Russia as opposed to invading Britain.

The German operation to invade Britain was called "Umnternehen Seelöwe" (operation Sealion). Germany attacked England by bombing airfields at first in an attempt to gain air superiority in order to be able to invade. This battle was called the Battle of Britain. Britain was able to win the Battle of Britain when the German luftwaffe changed its bombing tactics and started targeting cities more than RAF bases. This gave the RAF enough time to prepare to attack the luftwaffe bombers and fighter escorts. It was during these bombing runs that the spitfire was able to prove itself superior to the German Messerschmidt fighters as it could fly at a higher celling. The creation of RADAR also benefited the British as they were able to find out the numbers, speed and direction of the German squadrons. After Hitler was unable to get air superiority the invasion of Britain would be difficult if not impossible.
