Page "Operation Sea Lion" Paragraph 55

The German Army High Command (, OKH ) originally planned an invasion on a vast scale, extending from Dorset to Kent.

This was far in excess of what Kriegsmarine could supply, and final plans were more modest, calling for nine divisions to make an amphibious landing with around 67, 000 men in the first echelon and an airborne division to support them.

The chosen invasion sites ran from Rottingdean in the west to Hythe in the east.
