I don't think it was so much an intelligence failure but a failure of HAVING CLEARLY SET GOALS>

One of the most evident German failures was what to do if France fell. There was no thought as to preparation for an invasion of England before the French Offensive. There was NO LONG RANGE STRATEGUC PLANNING. That was Hitlers nature... everything was adhoc. That was one of Mansteins reasons for Germanys loss of the war.
