I think differently...they could have forced the country into submission, but an actual invasion verged on impossible. It could never have been achieved via paratroopers, and an invasion via the sea would have been better except this, too, would have been impossible.
I read a book by, i think, Derek Robinson about this which is extremely interesting
it certainly brings to mind the flaws in sea-borned invasions.
However, the RAF's defeat would have been demoralising and so this could have led to submission.
Thankfully we'll never know!
