注意看上面海狮计划中规定的截止日期，8月1号。八月份后来事态是怎么发展的？就是不列颠空战。也就是整个海狮计划的第一步开始实施。而整个海狮计划之所以终止，你看看上面海狮计划中提出的全部前期条件，基本上都没有达到，这才是看起来似乎没有执行的原因。其中对英吉利海峡布雷的问题，这个更呵呵。相反是英国对英吉利海峡布雷成功，导致后来的德国战舰沙恩霍斯特号在突破英吉利海峡回国的时候命中两枚水雷。

The division was assigned drop zones in the area of Lyminge—Sellinge—Hythe on the right wing of the 16th Army and tasked with the immediate capture of the high ground north and northwest of Folkestone. The division consisted of Fallschirmjäger Regiments 1, 2 and 3 commanded by Oberst Bruno Bräuer, Oberst Alfred Sturm and Oberst Richard Heidrich respectively, and the Air Landing Assault Regiment commanded by Oberst Eugen Meindl.

A 131-man commando team with 50 light motorcycles of the 1st Company of the I.

Upon landing, the “Brandenburg” company would link up with a combat group led by Oberst Edmund Hoffmeister, the commander of Infantry Regiment 21 of the 17th Infantry Division. Composed of elements of the 17th Infantry Division, the 7th Flieger-Division, corps-level support troops and Panzer Battalion B, Hoffmeister’s battle group would push up the coast to Dover.

Another commando team consisting of elements of the regimental intelligence unit and most of the 4th Company of the I. Battalion would land with the first wave and attack Dover directly to prevent the sinking of block ships in the harbor entrance and to neutralize the coastal batteries on the Dover heights. (An alternative to landing this commando team with the first wave troops might have been the use of about 25 fast motorboats, i.e., customs authority and police boats, under command of Korvettenkapitän Strempel.
