Thx for agreeing Igo_kyu.
I do agree that the Germans weren't fully committed to the BoB.

I am not convinced that if they had been fully committed they could have won with the forces at their disposal. What they might have been able to do if they had made many more aircraft and ships AND the British hadn't increased their own production to match it is a "might have been" of a much vaguer type.

Notice that Guderian says:

the lack of a sufficiently strong air force and of adequate shipping ... made it a completely hopeless undertaking.
Which is to say that in his opinion, the forces they had, even if used to their full potential, were insufficient.

try to read my post if u don't mind reading long posts ^^.
I did read it, it seemed very one sided, if you ignore half the evidence on the grounds that it's propaganda, and take all of the other sides propaganda as absolute truth, then you will end up with a very biased and inaccurate position.
