In this Alternate History Drachinifel, Military Aviation History and me look at the possibility and chances of an "early Afrika Korps". We look at a lot of data, the different sides and several aspects, like Malta, submarines, oil, different approaches, etc. Of course, it gets overly complicated, although we simplified quite a lot, e.g., we left out most of the political aspects. Additionally, you gain quite some insights in what was going on historically. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Fennell, Jonathan: Fighting the People’s War.
