Invasion Feasibility of a Channel Threat and Air Control
The article weighs invasion logistics across the English Channel versus Norway, noting armored vehicles and heavy artillery would move faster by land and sea than invaders who must disembark from ships. It highlights shipping scales, weapon needs, and the advantage of air cover from Britain, plus Norway’s rocky shorelines offering some shelter. A 500 000 to 600 000 strong force could trouble the Nazis, but only with continuous air superiority to be effective.
