After the fall of France in June 1940, Hitler ordered his generals to organize the invasion of Britain under a plan codenamed Operation Sealion. Prior to the invasion, a complex set of documents had been drawn up and this book brings together a selection of these documents.

It includes aerial photographs of strategic sites, maps of the main urban centres, a detailed listing of British roads, advice for officers about how to mount an attack on each county, a brief description of the social composition of Britain, and a dictionary and phrase book.
