Hitler's grab for England: Secretly filmed film shows how the Wehrmacht planned to conquer Britain

This film is the only known German footage documenting the secret preparations for Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of Britain in 1940. It was filmed by an engineer for the German High Command (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht) and was never intended for public viewing. According to available records, the film had never been publicly shown. The footage was produced as an internal state and military presentation, not for public propaganda. It documents the development of improvised landing craft and transport vessels by the so-called Sonderkommando Siebel, a unit operating under the authority of Hermann Göring’s Luftwaffe. The project reflects the technical and logistical challenges Nazi Germany faced when preparing for a cross-Channel invasion after the fall of France. Unlike ideological propaganda films of the period, this document focuses on technical specifications, production methods, and operational planning. It provides rare insight into: The experimental construction of amphibious vessels The use of aircraft engines and bridge pontoons for naval purposes The inter-service dynamics between the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine The practical limitations of Operation Sea Lion The original film was a silent production with German intertitles. For accessibility and educational purposes, we have translated the original German text into English and added English narration so that an international audience can better understand the historical content. Operation Sea Lion was never carried out. After Germany failed to achieve air superiority in the Battle of Britain, the invasion plans were postponed indefinitely. Many of the vessels shown in this film were later used in other theaters of war, including the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean.
