Its always interesting in see those who think that if Rommel would have made it farther in the Mideast that he would have been able to captured oilfields and have solved part of the German's need for fuel. Unfortunately the oil producing countries were not the same ones as in the 40's as they are now. Nor did the Germans have the equipment nor the ability to search for,drill or process the crude. Not to mention once again the Logistics in keeping such an army supplied with other items There would also be the need for more troops to hold and defend the territory and coastline taken. And it would still be a draw on the other areas where troops would be needed.
