What are the long and short term implications for an allied victory in Crete.
IMHO Crete was a very luckey break for the Germans and if Maleme airfield was just held then the battle is all but over for the Germans.
If the Commonwealth forces win Germany has no chance of invading for a while at least so Crete will just get stronger and harder to take.
How would this effect Barbarossa if at all?
How would the allies use Crete to attack the oil fields in Polesti?
What options do the allies have for an attack on south eastern Europe later in the war and how would it effect post war Europe.
