I am conducting some personal research into British preperations to counter a German Invasion. Although there appears to be considerable information available relating to the German Order of Battle and British static defences, I have not been able to find information relating to the British Order of Battle. I would be grateful if aybody could point me in the right direction or provide details of the British Order of Battle to Counter Operation Sea Lion. I am particularly interested in Unit dispositions; and Bde, Div and Corps Boundaries; and anti invasion plannning. Thank you for any information you can give me. Tony
Tony welcome to forum Look here for start: http://www.ordersofbattle.darkscape.net/site/history/volume4/446/British%20Defensive%20Deployment%20Against%20Operation.pdf Maybe somebody else will be able to give you more details. Cheers Enes
If I recall there are some boundary diagrams from 1940 in the first part of Nigel Hamilton's Monty biography, I think its called 'the making of a General'
Hi Tony and welcome to the forum. If Naval-Military Press ever pull there thumb out and deliver the book below I'll see if there is anything in it.....Assuming I'm still alive ORDERS of BATTLE.Second World War 1939-45. - Naval & Military Press Regards Andy
Hi Tony Welcome to the forum, you need to be looking at southern/ south eastern command and south west command for the direct threat, beware of orders of battle especially those based on Olson (HMSO). My father who was a Royal Engineer at 3rd Training Battalion in Sept 1940 was rushed to Kent to prepare for a proposed invasion that never happened. Monty I beleive had Southern Command at that period. Oldman
