Any chance of insisting on Jewish immigration as part of the deal? Australia had been willing to create a homeland, or the old chestnut the M plan. Terrible but better than mass murder.

What did happen to the ones in Britain? After all, Britain was never occupied by the Nazis.Take a look at the attitudes towards Jewish emmigration from Germany from 1933-39.

Greece however and its effect on the Western Dessert campaign can be laid mainly at Churchill's feat.
