Country:  | I still dont think it would have allowed Germany to win the War but it deffinatly would have tipped the scale into there favor for a very long time. The Brits would have effectively been done. I dont think they would have ever sued for peace though, I think they would have kept on trudging and eventually the Americans would have still entered and ofcourse Hitler would have made the grave mistake to attack Russia. So I dont think it would have really change anything just prolonged the war and made it worse.

Country: | It certainly would have changed things, Adler. Going back to North Africa and Operation Torch, if Hitler had the resources that were in Russia for North Africa, it certainly would have changed things dramatically. That would have likely given the Germans a victory in North Africa and they would then have access to the oilfields of the middle east. Interesting alternative history study.

Country: | I think it would have been more dificult than that, the isle is very rugged and mountainous. It would have been easy to defend.

Country: | their biggest obstical was the royal navy, but we didn't have a huge number of men there, it would have been easy for them to gain air superiority early on if that task wasn't left to the italians...
