Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf about Germany's two front war in WW1 and how that had contributed to its defeat. He was very much aware of the danger of a 2 front war. What if he decides that he has to force Britain to the negotiating table before launching Barbarossa and the best way to do so is to order massive Luftwaffe air raids on the Suez Canal.
