As for the"Med-First"-strategy, you have do decide in 1941: Med Sea or Russia. Either or, not both.

A "Med-Sea-first" Strategy would have f***ed up Britain's "soft underbelly"-strategy, so more emphasis on the U.S.'s "Rainbow"/"Europe first"-variants (= France first).

Plus a nice, untouched Russian giant waiting for his chance to roll on once the Nazis got in trouble.

Cheers,
