Upon reading Bevin Alexander's book How Hitler Could Have Won World War II, I came across a passage that essentially said that once the outcome of the Tunisian Campaign was no longer in any doubt, Hitler could have evacuated his 180,000 veteran German and Italian soldiers to Sicily where they could have put up a much stiffer resistance and possibly prevent the Allies from capturing the island. As we all know, Hitler didn't in OTL, but what if he grows a modicum of common sense and manages to ship his infantry to Sicily. Would it be enough to stop Operation Husky cold, and if so, keep Italy in the war longer?
