Administration
According to the most detailed plans created for the planned post-invasion administration, Britain and Ireland were to be divided into six military-economic commands. Hitler decreed that Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of Winston Churchill, was to serve as the overall headquarters of the German occupation military government.

The Nazis compiled lists of those they thought could be trusted to form a new government along the lines of that in occupied Norway. The list was headed by Oswald Mosley.

British monarchy
The Duke of Windsor (the former King Edward VIII), who many senior Nazi officials believed to be highly sympathetic to them, had taken the post of Governor of the Bahamas – and was therefore beyond Hitler's reach.

Security
Had Operation Sea Lion succeeded, Einsatzgruppen under Dr. Franz Six were to follow the invasion force to Great Britain to establish the New Order. They were provided with a list (The Black Book) of 2,820 people to be arrested immediately. The Einsatzgruppen were also tasked with liquidating what remained of Britain's Jewish population, which numbered over 300,000. Six had also been entrusted with the task of securing "aero-technological research result and important equipment" as well as "Germanic works of art".

The RSHA planned to take control of all of the newspapers.

German police plans include detailed provisions for a post-occupation period.

Deportation
Many of the able-bodied male population would have been deported to be used as slave labour. The UK was then to be plundered for anything of financial, military, industrial or cultural value, and the remaining population terrorised. Civilian hostages would be taken, and the death penalty immediately imposed for even the most trivial acts of resistance.
