It did the British good in WW 1 & would have done the Germans good had they gone through through the east side of med sea.

Read about the First Iraq  War.

 

Book.... 

 

Summary: A German-led Ottoman army based on that German-built railroad and supplied by the Germans, fought the British. They lost.

 

Same fiasco, smaller scale. ...    

 

SEAPOWER, as in the Germans had none, matters.

Seapower. Germans made use if Italian Seapower along with captured cargo vessels from Greece & Yugoslavia, enough to transport hundreds of tanks to Axis forces in North Africa. Another dismissed point.

 

Tanks had to be ferried across to North Africa in 3000-5000 tonne break bulk cargo ships with self unloading cranes and by ocean going train ferries. Italy had about 50-60 of those ships that could carry that cargo above hold for such unloading after severe hull modification. The maximum delivery capacity for them at any one time was measured in tens of tanks per convoy, not hundreds.    

 

Please don't be so arrogant that you think I don't know this subject backwards and forwards.  I certainly know by now that you don't know it at all.

I never mentioned that they all went in one Convoy. Please don't be posit things others havent stated so stupidly.

 

It is not my fault that you don't know what you discuss and make the statements you do. If you actually knew your subject....

 

Naval war from the British vie... 

 

It becomes quickly obvious that you know nothing when you made the comments about hundreds of tanks shipped across oceans dominated by Allied navies and into the teeth of allied air power. The very  reason that Rommel was supplied at all was because shore based air power cover could cover the SMALL Italian convoys that reached him from Sicily..

 

Espero convoy....
