Interesting. So I've learned a lot of reasons not to do, mainly regarding the terrain, but at the same time the idea that Bulgaria and Romania would switch to the Western allies' sphere is a huge boost to the idea of the offensive. I say this because if the United States were more anti-communist and looking at the post-war world where they will have to deal with Stalin, then an offensive through Greece would make the most sense. It would give the Western allies a bulwark against communist surge over Europe.
So back to more questions-
-Would the terrain represent insurmountable difficulty? Could the allies win?
-How would Stalin react? I get the idea he'd be more angry than happy.
-Where the Dardanelles straits opened up at this point? If they were not, all the more reason for a Balkan invasion.
