If Hitler really wanted to ‘win’ he would have invaded England after Dunkirk. Hitler’s goal was to control Europe not the whole world.

A German invasion of Britain was always a pipe dream.

But if the Luftwaffe had instead kept up the Kanalkampf, Britain would have been in real trouble.

London simply couldn't survive without the Port of London, there wasn't enough rail capacity from other cities to substitute and if you close down the Channel to British cargo ships...

Well, Churchill speeches aren't nearly as inspiring if you're starving in the dark.
