The German's HAD to get through the Royal Navy. It wasn't going to be on a pleasure cruise off in the Mediterranean. And, except for subs, the Germans had a rather anemic navy. When they took France and suddenly found themselves staring at Dover, they had no landing craft at all. They did start manufacturing them, but they never made enough to get ashore a force large enough to hold.

And given the ships and landing craft they needed, they STILL had to stop the RAF from sinking the invasion force. They never got control of the air over the channel and Britain.

Hitler thought he was a military genius. It's a good thing he had that delusion. Otherwise he might have let the generals run the war.
