Why Invading America Was Impossible for Hitler

Описание: At 11:23 AM on September 3rd, 1940, Admiral Erich Raeder sat across from Adolf Hitler holding plans for Operation Sea Lion - the invasion of Britain across 21 miles of water. Then Hitler asked a question that made Raeder's stomach drop: "What about America?"

3,000 miles of Atlantic Ocean. Two German battleships against 32 Allied battleships. Zero aircraft carriers against 14 enemy carriers. An industrial power that could build a cargo ship in 4 days while Germany took months. This is the story of why geography, mathematics, and industrial capacity made invading America not just difficult - but actually impossible.

From the sinking of the Bismarck to the logistics nightmare of supplying troops across an ocean, discover why Hitler's most powerful enemy was one he could never reach.
