Germany had NO prospects of successfully invading the British Isles. They had no experience in amphibious operations, no equipment to successfully conduct an invasion, and no way to combat either the Royal Navy or the Royal Air Force.

If you read this link you’ll be shocked at how ridiculous German planning was:

Very convincing. It took the US and Britain, both sea powers, years to develop the capabilities the Germans would have needed to mount a powerful attack on British land forces. After the Germans invaded Russia and were stalled on the Eastern Front, there was never any prospect of their committing the resources necessary to accomplish that. And after Hitler declared war on the US following Pearl Harbor, the die was cast. The most he could have accomplished was to batter Britain with V2s until August, 1945 - then the A-bomb would have decided the issue in any event. In historical hindsight.
