I would also back the U-boat theory.
Had the Germans devoted more resources to submarines in place of prestige pieces such as battleships (and, arguably, the V-rockets) and thereby had greater numbers in service throughout - far cheaper in terms of construction and manning - and the quicker introduction of the advanced Type XXI U-boats, it would have been a far greater task to deal with them effectively.

I would vote for an atomic bomb, which the Germans were working on frantically throughout the war. While it may not have aided an invasion of the UK, successful deployment of such weapons could have led to a British surrender and avoided the necessity of an invasion. Doc
