It is September 1940...
The combined might of the German armed forces; the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine, launch a simultaneous assault on the shores of southern England; codenamed: "Operation Sealion". With the creation of the "Oberkommando der Streitkräfte," the German military collaborates on a scale unseen since the war began. Hitler and his high command, against their better judgment, decided against a campaign into Russia. They believed their land forces would be unable to find a foothold before the winter cold froze the advance. That being said, German High Command then made good on their plans to eliminate the last Allied bastion in the West: Great Britain.
The British clung to life, digging in with their teeth and nails. The defeat of their last European ally: France and a near-disastrous retreat in Dunkirk created a bleak outlook, to say the least. British parliament pushed for a peaceful resolution, but Churchill continued to stand by his "Never Surrender" policy. Churchill had tirelessly lobbied President Roosevelt in the U.S for aid, but to no avail. The United States would hold true to their isolationist attitudes. Without American supplies and military aid, the Atlantic became a kill zone for British merchant fleets. The Royal Navy began suffering heavy losses in the Atlantic from the German U-boat packs lurking beneath the waves. The Germans intended to cripple the British war economy, as well as pull the attention of the Royal Navy away from England to allow for an amphibious assault to go unchallenged. As for the Royal Air Force, the number of planes and pilots have slowly begun to dwindle as the Luftwaffe waged a long, aerial war of attrition over the skies of England. Relentless bombings of civilian targets and military installations spell doom for Britains morale. The British Empire seems to draw its last breaths, and Germany prepares its final blow.
