But time was against them. The RAF was increasing in strength relative to the LW for the BOB and would have continued to do so until well into 41 and if the LW continued its efforts vs GB probably would have until the LW was ground down to nothing. The British army was also at an all time low during the summer of 1940 after that it was simply too strong for the force the Germans could land.
