“what if the Germans had gone to North Africa instead of fooling around with the battle of Britain?
I think I'll invoke henkster's rule of alternative histories. It's not valid if the Germans aren't the Germans and Hitler isn't Hitler. Leaving the British Isles to the U-boats and concentrating land forces on the Med might have been a sounder strategy for the Axis, but I don't think Hitler was ever sold on the idea. He wanted to secure his rear so he could turn his main force on Russia.
Yea it is a what if scenario after all.
Right up there with what if Lee had listened to Longstreet at Gettysburg and Lt. Tyler had realized that the Japanese were in bound and alerted the forces at Pearl Harbor.
