Realistically-Just say that German paras had landed in England in an attempt to grab Churchill. I believe that a kidnapping would be more damaging to the Allies, because the teh Germans have some leverage-but an assassination would I believe do nothing. I mean-it was early and England lost Chamberlain, and in the late part America lost Roosevelt, but teh loss of a political figure, besides loss of morale, would ahve what effect???

Well, I do not think kidnapping was an real option. I just see it too complicated. I find assassination rather probable. But is your kidnapping point about having him hostage and asking a reward or something for him? I do not think the British would have negotiated, Churchill himself would have forgiven his countrymen if they accepted those kind of negotiations. The main point here is the severe blow to British morale. England has lost her lion and fiercest soul. But to impact on the war, I think it would have had to be in 1940-1941, not after that.

German intelligence on what was happening in Britain, let alone where Churchill was at any set time was so poor, there is no way that any attempt could be made to kidnap or kill Churchill on the British mainland.

I believe that kidnapping Churchill could have worked, the same goes for the liberation of Mussolini.

Nobody thought that anyone could do it, but Skorzeny did it.
