If there was no Channel, you're right. As it was, the German war machine was similarly overwhelming, vis-a-vis England, after France's fall, and couldn't get the job done. "More overwhelming" doesn't necessarily matter, unless T-34s have some kind of previously unknown swimming capability.

Correct. Sea Lion was canceled because the Germans hadn't gained air or sea superiority. Add to that the fact that they really didn't have an amphibious force that would have been required to cross the channel...
Hypothetical are fun to a point, but the facts are more fun. The Brits, with a little help, won the BoB and Hitler turned his intentions toward the country he really wanted to fight. The BoB was the first turning point in the European theater and it's victory can't be overstated.
