What if Stalin feels he has a few divisions spare and wants to give the Germans a scare in the Balkan peninsula, and proposes an Anglo-Soviet operation to remove Crete from Axis control, to take place in 1942? Stalin supplies the troops (presumably shipped overland through Persia to embark in Egypt) and Churchill provides the ships and air-cover?
Would Churchill be tempted by the offer, and might it seem feasible to Churchill or at least worth trying?
