OFF TOPIC:

Jim, this line from your post almost hit me in my head... I think this is worth starting another thread. Look at this - in late 1940 Hitler shows really that he can think and postponed Sea Lion.

As you said he launched Barbarossa 8 month later counting end of BofB till 22 of June 1941. Was he the same men?
Looking at figures only, Barbarossa was more crazy in long run then Sea Lion...

What nearly all historians want us to believe is that Germany had no intelligence, that Abwehr was totally blind, that Hitler launched Barbarossa without clearly defined objectives...

Something doesn't fit here...

See ya in next thread!

Cheers,
