Hamburg would be a good place to start since the town was very red and suffered greatly under the Nazis.

More interestingly, with the French and British firmly in control of North Africa where would the Italians focus their Imperial ambitions? Turkey? Morrocco? Arabia? Or would the Italians still try for the Suez?
Italy would most concentrate their Imperial ambitions in the Balkans.
