Yes,

Hitler had a soft spot for the English. He could have destroyed them at a couple of stages with the Luftwaffe. Perhaps he was looking for a simple surrender or alliance. I don't know.

The difficulty with an amphibious landing was equal in both directions, so it was not a priority.

In hindsight, he was clearly about to setup a monumental front with Russia and target Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Romanian and Ukrainian Jews.

His megalomaniacal thinking was therefore more East than West.

No.
Firstly: Let us reject any scare-mongering sensationalism - even a successful inVasion would have just delivered the world the hilarious picture of English gentleMen turning into guerilleros (unless the Hitlerists had extincted most Britons).
There are mountains in the Scottish Highlands and Snowdonia and a few smaller ones elsewhere.....

I had never heard of Snowdonia in my life until yesterday.

Now I have heard it twice in 2 days.

That's the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon for you.

Yes, it happened to me with a word last year. I had never come across that word in 50 years of life, then I saw it two days in a row.
