Summer 1942 and the war in the Middle East is in the balance;
Rommel's Axis forces are posed on the borders of Egypt and all that
is needed is one last push. For that to succeed, Rommel needs
supplies and for the Allies to be denied supplies. With Malta still
active and disrupting the Axis shipping routes across the
Mediterranean he is denied those supplies. Meanwhile, the Allied
build-up continues, and Montgomery holds at El Alamein and then
counter attacks Rommel is pushed back and then in a double blow,
the Allies land in Tunisia. The collapse of North Africa leads to
the invasion of Italy and contributes to the final Axis defeat. But
what if Rommel had won? In this alternate history, Ken Delve
proposes that with a few strategic changes by the Axis, poor
decision by Allied Commanders, the outcome of could have been very
different. In this scenario, the Allied invasion in Tunisia fails,
Rommel defeats Montgomery and seizes Egypt, leaving the Germans
well-placed to sweep up through the Middle East, capturing oil
installations and joining up with German forces in Russia.
