Heh. The best example of a successful German invasion of Britain is still in the famous timeline
{Spoiler}Decades of Darkness by Jared. That's however a TL with a PoD around 1800, which gives Germany enough time to build up a strong navy (it helps that the Dutch are included in this Germany), which can take on the RN. And that's after Britain lost a big war against the *USA.
Thank you my friend "The Rock".
I am quite busy right now. I am building a Thomas The Train wooden model for my 4 year old Granddaughter and a very, very rugged Wooden tug boat for my 2 year old Great nephew AKA "The Demolition Toddler".
He is the son of my Nephew and God Child. Thomas has some really fine lines and a lot of detail to it. The TUG is all brute strength. I am using Oak and hope he doesn't drop it on his foot. I know nothing is sailor proof and my grand sons have taught me nothing is little boy toddler proof.
My oldest Mattie inherited a fishing schooner an old fisherman my dad had befriended made for me when I was about 5. It was a nice piece of work and remarkable tough but I persevered and eventually trashed it to the point my Mom just collected it one day and put the pieces in a box. She gave me the Box when #1 daughter was pronounced pregnant with a boy. She told me "You think you are pretty good at building those wooden boats just because some people are willing to pay a you more than they are worth. Now let's see what kind of miracle man my son really is". I never could fool that gal. She knew me better than I knew myself and was far from awed by my accomplishments.
Let us just say Mattie's boat is as close to my original as I can make it from the photos I have of it when it was somewhat presentable. I must also confess about 1/3rd of it is entirely new wood and the sails & rigging, along with the missing dories, & anchors are 100% new. Well Matthew is now 13 and two weeks ago I was in his bedroom and there was OUR Boat. It was a little dusty but in damn fine shape. I asked him how he managed that. He said "My Dad put it away about a year after you gave it to me and I only got it back a few years ago." I said "Mattie, your Dad is a very smart man." He said I didn't even know I had the boat until he gave it back to me and explained who had given it to me and it's history.
More than enough said!
