A little past the use by date :-) but along the same lines a Freeper Foxhole article from the wayback machine regards “what if the Germans had gone to North Africa instead of fooling around with the battle of Britain?

Boy, August '05. That goes way back, okay.

“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.
