ABSTRACT
Bombing and invasion represented the extremes of official predictions about the course a war against Germany would take: at the very least the enemy would launch a mass bombing assault, at worst he would invade. He would be hoping to subdue Britain by the former, making the latter a simple matter of occupation. A third possibility was a naval blockade designed to starve Britain into submission. As it turned out, none of these materialized quickly, or in the anticipated order.
