No doubt about it, Italian debacles in Africa and Greece came at a heavy cost for Germany to fix. In addition to the damage caused to the German war effort overtly, certain events that might have happened didn't happen because of Mussolini. By abandoning Italy's neutrality and attaching himself to Hitler's hip the way he did, it made it politically impossible for Petain's France (which was really done dirty by Mussolini) to join Germany in protecting Northern Europe from Allied invasion. Whatever French resentment the anti-communist French had toward Britain for its treacherous attack at Mers El KÃ©bir, was offset by Italy's stab-in-the-back just one month earlier. Hitler's idea of rallying the North Africans and Arabs against the British colonialists could have worked as well, but not with poison gas man of Ethiopia attached to him. Oh what might have been if not for blundering Benito!
