Operation Sealion was the name given by Hitler for the planned invasion of Great Britain in 1940.

The projected invasion on Britain included:
Army Group A (6 divisions) invading Kent via the areas near Ramsgate, Folkstone and Bexhill
Army Group A (4 divisions) invading Sussex and Hampshire via the area around Brighton and the Isle of Wight.
Army Group B (3 divisions) invading Dorset via Lyme Bay
From Kent, Army Group A would advance to south-east London and then to Malden and St. Albans north of London.
