@andrejuha164 Oh, please! Do some reading. 'Hitler could place his mega artillery and mega fortresses on this 20 km corridor very simple.' He did. By the end of August, 1940, there were over 150 medium, heavy, and super heavy, German guns on the French Channel coast. From 12 August, they began firing at British coastal convoys as they passed through. Between August & December, 1880 rounds were fired at these convoys, with often as many as 200 rounds fired at each. Total number of hits? NIL. Between then and the end of the war, these guns managed to damage seven merchant ships in total, although none were sunk.
Don't you consider it odd, then, that the Luftwaffe failed so badly to prevent the Dunkirk evacuation? Do you think that the fact that it hadn't had any training at all in anti-shipping operations might have been relevant?
