Hitler's Victory

In the summer of 1940, after the Nazis had driven the
Allies from continental Europe, the scene was set for
a clash between Germany and Britain. "Since England,
despite her hopeless military situation, still shows
no sign of willingness to come to terms, I have
decided to prepare, and if necessary to carry out, a
landing operation against her," Adolf Hitler wrote in
a top-secret directive. A full-scale land and sea
invasion of Britain, given the code name "Operation
Sea Lion," was thwarted by poor weather. Instead,
fierce air combat ensued between the Luftwaffe and the
Royal Air Force -- the Battle of Britain -- in which
the mighty Luftwaffe were turned back to the Third
Reich.

Yet, what if things had gone differently? Through
archival film never before seen on television,
historical re-enactments, and original footage of
secret underground installations, HITLER'S VICTORY
looks at the effects a full-scale 1940 invasion would
have had on Britain if Hitler had succeeded.

The above refers in some detail to a similar effort by
the British at the onset of the war, an armed, quite
literally underground militia to be mobilized in case
of Nazi Invasion.  Whether this is historical or
allohistorical fact, however ...
