    Mussolini

    He couldn't do Greece right neither. And in 43, Hitler had to prop up his shrinking power base, and send in Skorzeny and co. to rescue him. Not a brilliant dictator really. Fair enough in peacetime, yes. In war, nope.

    Mussolini

    He would have been kicked out of the Balkans and then would have been deposed in a coup for being all mouth and little action. Mussolini never really liked Hitler. He just rode the secondary waves of early successes but never really achieved much.

    Not even with seemingly endless supplies from Siberia. Plus the OKW were utterly against Op Barbarossa, maybe a Soviet assault may even stir up more trouble

    WI: Hitler appointed Chancellor earlier

    What if Hitler was appointed as Reichskanzler before Jan 33. As seen, the Bruning, Papen and Schleicher cabinets couldn't command majorities. Would Hindenburg be sidlined?
