<HTML>\">The total effort was insufficient to allow the invasion of England to be completed before commencement of operations against the Soviet Union,….<\" The objective of the blockade could not have been an invasion since the Kriegsmarine did not have anywhere close to the required assets to perform such a feat. The objective was to force Britain to the negotiating table after Churchill had been fired as PM. A successful blockade would have put Britain into the position of having to decide between economic ruin or loss of political influence on the European Continent.
