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.

What, you mean barges on the Rhine aren't ideal amphibious assault naval vessels to cross the English Channel?!?!
