Re: Any dispute about interpreting the BofB?

Incurring all of the bankrupting costs associated with making FC a world-leader assured the defeat of the Luftwaffe and thus no chance of a German invasion of GB.

- 7 February: Italian Tenth Army surrenders
- 9 February: Churchill orders halt to British and Australian advance at El Agheila to allow withdrawal of troops to Greece
- 14 February: First units of the under Erwin Rommel start to arrive in during Operation Sonnenblume

Do you really think the British forces could have traveled the ~800 miles from El Agheila to Tunis in time to stop Rommel unloading his troops?
