Was Hitler Really Wanted Peace with Britain?

The answer was Hitler not really wanted peace with Britain. He wanted to invade her but the British airpowers defeated his both airpowers and naval powers which made long time recover. British used radar-technology to made her warplanes easily found the Hitler's warplanes and shot them down. And their fighterplanes attacked back with bombed the Hitler's ports, ships, and headquarters which used for preparation to invade Britain on French-occupied territory. And also Hitler's naval powers not yet to match the Britain's naval power during that time which made invasion of Britain harder during 1940. See this information :

...fortunately for posterity and the truth, the mountainous secret German military files leave no doubt that Hitler’s plan to invade Britain in the  early fall of 1940 was deadly  serious  and that, though given to many hesitations,  the Nazi dictator seriously intended to carry it out if there were any  reasonable chance of success.  Its ultimate fate was settled not by any lack of determination or effort but by the fortunes of war, which now, for the first time, began to turn against him.

...the Naval War Staff had estimated that to fulfill the demands of the Army for landing 100,000 men with equipment and supplies in the first wave, along a 200-mile front from  amsgate to Lyme Bay, would necessitate rounding up 1,722 barges, 1,161 motorboats, 471 tugs and 155 transports. Even if it were possible to assemble such a vast amount of shipping, Raeder told Hitler on July 25, it would wreck the German economy, since taking away so many barges and tugs would destroy the whole inland-waterway transportation system, on which the  economic life of the country largely depended.16  At any rate, Raeder made it clear, the protection of such an armada trying to supply such a broad front  against the  certain attacks of the British Navy and Air Force was beyond the powers of the German naval forces.

British light naval forces bombarded the chief Channel invasion ports, Ostend,Calais, Boulogne and Cherbourg, while the R.A.F. sank eighty barges in Ostend Harbor. In  Berlin that  day  Hitler  conferred with his service chiefs at lunch. He thought the air  war  was going very well and declared that he had no intention of running the risk of invasion.24 In fact, Jodl got the impression from the Fuehrer’s remarks that he had  “apparently decided to abandon Sea Lion completely,” an impression which was accurate for  that day, as Hitler confirmed the following day — when,  however, he again changed his  mind.

...two  hundred  German  bombers,  escorted  by  three  times  as  many fighters,  appeared over the Channel about midday, headed for London. Fighter Command had watched the assembling of the attackers on its radar screens and was ready. The Germans  were  intercepted  before  they approached  the  capital,  and  though  some planes got through, many were dispersed and others shot down before they  could deliver their bomb load. Two hours later an even stronger German formation returned and was routed. Though the British claimed to have shot down 185 Luftwaffeplanes, the actual figure, as learned after the war from the Berlin archives, was much lower — fifty-six, but thirty-four of these were bombers. The R.A.F. lost only twenty-six aircraft.

...

The German Navy,  crippled by the losses off Norway in the early spring, was unable, as its chiefs admitted all along, to provide the sea power for an invasion of Britain. Without this, and without air supremacy, the German Army  was helpless to move across the narrow Channel waters. For the first time  in the war Hitler had been stopped, his plans of further conquest frustrated, and just at the moment, as we have seen, when he was certain that final victory had been achieved He had never conceived — nor had anyone else up to  that time — that a decisive battle could be decided in the air. Nor perhaps  did he yet realize as the dark winter settled over Europe that a handful of  British fighter pilots, by thwarting his invasion, had preserved England as a great base for the possible reconquest of the Continent from the west at a later date. His thoughts were perforce turning elsewhere; in fact, as we shall see,had already turned

What if Hitler's soldiers successfully invade Britain? See this information below.

The  Nazi  German  occupation  of  Britain  would  not  have  been  a gentle affair.  The  captured  German  papers  leave  no  doubt  of  that.  On  September 9 Brauchitsch,  the  Commander  in  Chief  of  the  Army,  signed  a directive providing  that  “the  able-bodied  male  population  between  the  ages  of seventeen  and  forty-five  [in  Britain]  will,  unless  the  local  situation  calls for  an  exceptional  ruling,  be  interned  and  dispatched  to  the  Continent.” Orders  to  this  effect  were  sent  out  a few  days  later  by  the  Quartermaster General,  in  OKH,  to  the  Ninth  and  Sixteenth  armies,  which  were  assembled for  the  invasion.  In  no  other  conquered  country,  not  even  in  Poland, had  the  Germans  begun  with  such  a drastic  step.  Brauchitsch’s instructions  were  headed  “Orders  Concerning  the  Organization  and  Function of  Military  Government  in  England”  and  went  into  considerable  detail. They  seem  designed  to  ensure  the  systematic  plunder  of  the  island and  the  terrorization  of  its  inhabitants.  A special  “Military  Economic Staff  England”  was  set  up  on  July  27  to  achieve  the  first  aim.  Everything but  normal  household  stocks  was  to  be  confiscated  at  once.  Hostages would  be  taken.  Anybody  posting  a placard  the  Germans  didn’t  like would  be  liable  to  immediate  execution,  and  a similar  penalty  was  provided for  those  who  failed  to  turn  in  firearms  or  radio  sets  within  twenty four  hours.

Actually,  already  in  August  Heydrich  had  organized  six  Einsatzkommando  for  Britain  which  were  to  operate  from  headquarters  in  London, Bristol,  Birmingham,  Liverpool,  Manchester  and  Edinburgh — or  in  Glasgow, if  the  Forth  Bridge  was  found  blown  up.  They  were  to  carry  out  Nazi terror;  to  begin  with,  they  were  to  arrest  all  those  on  the  “Special  Search List,  G.B.  [Great  Britain],”  which  in  May  had  been  hurriedly  and  care- lessly compiled  by  Walter  Schellenberg,  another  one  of  Himmler’s  bright young  university  graduates,  who  was  then  chief  of  Amt  (Bureau)  IV  E— Counterespionage — of  R.S.H.A.  Or  so  Schellenberg  later  claimed,  though at  this  time  he  was  mainly  occupied  in  Lisbon,  Portugal,  on  a bizarre mission  to  kidnap  the  Duke  of  Windsor.

...

This  Nazi  Black  Book  actually  formed  a supplement  to  a supposedly highly  secret  handbook  called  Informationsheft,  which  Schellenberg  also claims  to  have  written,  and  whose  purpose  seems  to  have  been  to  aid  the conquerors  in  looting  Britain  and  stamping  out  anti-German  institutions there.  It  is  even  more  amusing  than  the  Search  List.  Among  the  dangerous institutions,  besides  the  Masonic  lodges  and  Jewish  organizations, which  deserved  “special  attention”  by  R.S.H.A.,  were  the  “public  schools” (in  England,  the  private  schools),  the  Church  of  England,  which  was  described as  “a  powerful  tool  of  British  imperial  politics,”  and  the  Boy Scouts,  which  was  put  down  as  “an  excellent  source  of  information  for  the British  Intelligence  Service.”  Its  revered  leader  and  founder,  Lord  Baden Powell,  was  to  be  immediately  arrested.

The Nazis also had plans for the deportation and enslavement of 50% of Britain's adult male population in the event of a successful invasion.[26]
