That was a contingency plan if peace did not work. At a certain point it was destroy or be destroyed. Remember the Brits declared war on Germany and refused peace for years.

Your history is absolutely incorrect.

Sea Lion was well underway and only was abandoned once it was made clear that the Luftwaffe would not be able to establish air supremacy any time in the near future, after they lost the Battle of Britain.

These are established facts and the reason Goering fell out of favor with Hitler, he failed to deliver what was promised... the destruction of the RAF.

It absolutely was a contingency, and was not intended from the getgo. That is not "my history." It did become the plan when it became clear the war would continue.

I'm not going to argue your opinion that the Nazis had good intentions.

Hitler said that he admired the Brits and didnt want to fight them. He wanted their help against the rising soviet menace.
