Re: Any dispute about interpreting the BofB?
Regarding the threat of invasion, it may be the case that the RN was a force to reckon with but as for the British Army many men arrived from Dunkirk with hardly any kit or clothing let along their weapons. It was a critical time for the Army which lost thousands of vehicles in France. It has been said that for a while there were only 80 tanks left in the UK in June 1940. If the Germans had used paratroops and landed troops the same day as we did on D-Day I think we would have lost. We were hardly invincible on land at that time despite having an Empire.
