Pumping up post count, are we?

Twenty thousand may seem like a good number, but according to John Ellis in Brute Force, Viking Press, 1990, the Germans produced 33,804 combat aircraft in 1944.

Okay, now the inevitable. Credibility of source. First of all I would really like to see which source John Ellis used in his book. Mine was from too many English documentaries I saw (Battlefield for example depicted each scenario in intrinsic details with layout of divisions, armies etc.). 20.000 is way less than 38.000 and I didn't even quote the number of Allied aircraft.
Maybe Allies really built 130.000 but they deployed 12.000 in Normandy. This is as true as to say that Caen was captured/liberated in July. Or John Ellis says otherwise ?

Explain how the Luftwaffe will be able to produce and maintain these 20-30,000 aircraft.

By now, I believe production of 20.000-30.000 aircraft PER YEAR is undisputable. Topic says "What If Germany Didn’t Declare war on the Soviets". For those in cheap seats, that means unlimited fuel and raw material supply by Soviet Russia AND way better protection of German homeland as most German airplanes were lost in Russia. Capish ?

There is no Royal Army in the United Kingdom. I believe the term you are looking for is British Army.

Your are right, I kept searching for the term and it kept eluding me...

Map out how the Royal Navy is to be defeated by the Kriegsmarine and how the KM is going to land and support forces on Great Britain? Wait, no don't do that, it has been beat to death in multiple threads already.

I hope it is not expected of me to count ship building capacity of each sea country. I said with direct/indirect control of Europe...as time goes by...ring a bell ? The British Army was stretched from Iraq to England and was no match for Wehrmacht. 2 Rommels panzer divisions kicked their ass all the way to Egypt. Royal Navy was also deployed around the world from Singapore (where it lost famous battleship), to Suez, to Mediterranean, to Atlantic and to North Sea AND to English channel. Germany's Bismarck and Tripitz ALONE would cause enormous problems in Channel for Royal Navy. And RAF airfields were almost totally destroyed when Hitler changed focus on bombing London rather than RAF installations. RAF was way closer to defeat than Luftwaffe but Hitler instead wanted revenge for bombings of Berlin that RAF skillfully executed. RAF could make no impression on German Navy as it was decimated at that time (October, November) 1940. And let us not forget plethora of German submarines keeping the Royal Navy at bay...
