No, I said the surrender at Tunis of @ 250,000 Axis soldiers in the spring of 1943 was the really big kicker, and so it was.

So now Africa's a big deal? Cause earlier you were implying that it was a small scale operation of little significance. I believe you called it "a sideshow to Hitler."

First German troops deployed to Africa in February, 1941.

The investment was small then.

Later it grew. It was a two year campaign. Hitler sent a lot of troops to NA after it was clear the place couldn't be held.

Hitler thought of it as a sideshow in 1941; nothing mattered except beating the USSR. That was pretty much true the whole time for Hitler.
