What was Operation Sealion & how did the UK prepare for German Invasion in 1940? Come along and find out on 6th May at 6.00pm
About this Event

Operation Sealion, the German plan for UK invasion and the British preparations for war.

It is a fascinating tale of bluff and double bluff, but also a story of mind blowing British innovation, code breaking and defiance.

Incredibly, some of the physical signs of that preparation reamin today. This is a battle that was never fought and brought to life by Jonathan Cunningham MBE, a retired Green Howard Major.

Come and join us for a fascinating evening talk to learn more.

Book early to avoid disappointment as we anticipate this event to sell out quickly.
