I have just finished reading a book on this subject which sheds alot of light on the what-if. The writer makes a point which i agree on that if Hitler transferd 3 or 4 panzer divisions to rommel he could have teken the suez canal and also the middle east countrys cutting off lend-lease through Iran. This would have casue the Med. to become a Axis lake and also force Turky to come to the Axis side or allow movment in there country. this in turn would make stalin avoid any conflicts with USSR. Due to Stalin not wanting to loose the oil fields. I belive that if done before operation Barbaroosa could have made the situation way better for the axis. If the invasion of the USSr had all readdy occured then Stalin would be in a tough spot to have and spread his army out over 3 fronts.
