Yes the British would feel that they were at risk of being invaded, look at these two points

1.Germany has conquoered the whole of Europe except Britain, dosn't that make you think that you are next?
2.Germany has lied and lied about countries they werent going to invade, but they did why would Britain be any different?

Germany would know this two so they would never move all these hundred of thousands of troops needed in france to hold the costal defenses against the above points.

Now something that you are missing is that for every country that Germany controls that is more and more divisions that are diverted from the frontlines to protect all these countries not only from invasion from other countries, but also to stop partisans and uprisings such as the warsaw uprising, this dosn't include the extra troops need to drive the endless amount of supply trucks needed to not only fuel the frontline divisions but al those in these support areas and the support troops needed to defend these supply lines against resistance units, so these hundreds of thousands of troops would be in every other country but russia.
