By By Lynn Curwin Aug 25, 2010 in World Details of Germany’s plan to invade Britain by having shock troops, dressed in British uniforms, land at Dover have been made public. As well as Dover, other coastal area in the south, Scotland and southern Ireland would have seen troops land – after a huge aerial bombardment took place. "The idea of shock troops wearing enemy uniforms, as they had in the Low Countries, is fascinating. It's really The Eagle Has Landed stuff,” "It gives an indication of what might have happened if the Battle of Britain had gone the other way.” The plan included taking over the docks and then having barges bring over more German troops. Janowski provided information on how his unit trained in invasion techniques during the fall of 1940, but that the RAG destroyed most of the invasion barges in December 1940. The invasion was called off by Hitler because the Luftwaffe had not been able to destroy the RAF and they need air superiority to go ahead. The plan would have been put into action if the Luftwaffe had won the Battle of Britain. BBC News reported that the details came from a post-war debrief of Cpl Werner Janowski, who was with the German Intelligence Service, the Abwehr. They were part of an MI5 file which can be seen by the public at the National Archives.As well as Dover, other coastal area in the south, Scotland and southern Ireland would have seen troops land – after a huge aerial bombardment took place."The idea of shock troops wearing enemy uniforms, as they had in the Low Countries, is fascinating.
