The reality is that Hitler had no such plan to invade England. The argument he put forward was that if England would fall, the British empire would fall and none of its colonies would fall into the hands of Germany, and would more likely be picked up by enemy countries. Secondly, Hitler admired the English, as they were cousins to Germans and therefore part of the Master Race.
So his strategy was to bomb London and other major English cities in the hope that England would give up its fight, make peace with Germany and recognised its gain in Europe. His big mistake was not realizing that Churchill was another war monger who would never give up.
