    Operation Sea Lion Research Paper

    June 17th 1940, the defeated French signed an armistice and quit World War II. Hitler then turned his attention to Britain and started making an invasion plan called “Operation Sea Lion.” The plan was to get control of the air because if they had control of the air, then they would have control of the English Channel. The Germans needed to control the English Channel so that the British Navy would not be able to attack their invasion barges which were planning on landing at the Kent and Sussex beaches. Hitler was so confident that he would win the Battle of Britain, that he made thorough plans of who would rule Britain after it was conquered and his propaganda machines already made a newsreel of the ‘victorious’ German soldiers and the British they had…

    Contingency Approach In The Military

    The military is one of the largest organizations that utilizes the contingency approach because it's an efficient way to address problems.
