I agree with Spidge. Wavell almost had North Africa cleared before having to send troops to Greece. Churchill should NEVER have interfered in North Africa that time, although I do believe in Dec 1941 he had to send some troops to the Far East. His obsession with the "soft underbelly" of Europe was the cause of a lot of needless casualties.
