Mostly correct, except the D-day comparison. After fall of France UK had almost no defenses of any kind. Like .... none. This cannot be compared to D-day as Germans did have some defenses - it was not few guys with rifles on the beach. Granted path to success would be blocked by simple logistics (how do you supply even little troops over the channel) but still it is worth pointing out that even a single German paratrooper division in 1940 would be a major issue for the British. BUT as charts show Germany would need roughly 10 divisions to take out UK in the most optimistic scenario - rather tiny force BUT supporting around quarter of a million of troops with royal navy and some royal airforce was a NO GO. Even if no one escaped Dunkirk you simply could not take UK with say 5 divisions. Also note this is all very optimistic, it assumes Germany could control UK / take over with far less troops then they needed to occupy General Government - i.e. non-annexed part of Poland.

@harveyknguyen Maybe some. But Luftwaffe would have no issues gaining air superiority over a certain area for some time - say a day. Problem is with what happens next.
