kicked this idea(s) around with my friends quite some time ago....
1) If the germans managed to carry out an succesful invasion and capture the whole of ireland (incl north ire) would the british position still be tenable?
2) If a complete invasion or capture of the british isles was effected, (with or w/o ireland) would recapture by the allies be possible?
any ideas.?

Hmm interesting... never really thought of that.
Just off the top of the head, NFW (No-Fishin-Way). The only remaining (significant) Allied Power remaining, the USA would have no staging point to launch an amphibious landing to liberate UK. Its one thing to cross the channel, but totally another thing to sail marines/troops from Iceland to UK.
