I have been reading Raising Churchills Army by David French and on Page 219, I came across this
"Had it not been for the efforts of the Ariete and Trieste in overunning British postions and linking up with the DAK on 28-9 May, and the work of the Italian X Corps in opening a path through the British minefield DAK might have been destroyed in the Cauldron"
Simple question If the above efforts had failed and this led to the destruction or surrender of the DAK, aside from the obvious propaganda boost, what effects would this have?
