Mediterranean Blitzkrieg?
Britain is living the shadow of invasion but Hitler's eyes are not focused entirely on that island. Egypt still bars the way to the world domination of which he dreams and unless the Suez Canal falls to his legions that domination must remain but a dream.
Certainly Italy can not be relied on to any extent so it may well be that Hitler's next move may be towards the East.
