I'm interested in finding out whether English history reveals what Churchill's 'Fall Back' position was if the Nazis had ever landed ground troops on British soil? In Australia during the darkest points of the War in 1942/43, the Australian Government drew a line through Brisbane in SE Queensland, known logically as the 'Brisbane Line' north of which would be evacuated and left to the Japanese had they ever made landfall in northern Australia. I assume the British Government had a similar plan when the Nazis held most of Europe across the Channel. Would Brits have been evacuated north into Scotland or west into Wales (ironically like most other defeated races throughout English history)? Roger Queensland, Australia.

Hi Roger There is a lot of information on http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon/searches/locresult_details.asp?LR=14 you will need to sift through, also an email address.
