Fall of Crete tightens Egypt defense crisis
Edward E. Bomar notes Crete’s fall tightens the Middle East crisis as Axis victory diverts naval power from Egypt. He cites submarine and air actions against Italian ships, the Battle of the Atlantic dragging on, and the looming threat to Libya. Reaffirming RAF Egypt defense, Bomar argues Crete bought time for Ethiopia, Iraq, and Wavell’s forces while strengthening Axis aims in North Africa.
