What do you think would Hitler leave the Mediterranean ruled by the British? Could he make an invasion in Tunis or instead try to come back through the Vichy French parts of Africa?

And of course the Crete would have been probably taken without the horrible casualties, and Fallschirmjäger would have been used in other operations. Maybe not Malta ?

Luftlotte 2 and the troops would be available for Russian front. And Rommel.
