Let us just say the Germans HAD taken Malta and Gibraltar, how would they successfully blockade the Strait of Gibraltar? To have an EFFECTIVE blockade I believe the Germans would have needed to use more of thier submarines, something a battered Kriegsmarine(not to mention the German economy) could not handle.
