(d) Major operations elsewhere would have to be abandoned while the campaign was in progress. (e) The threat against our position in the Middle East would be diminished at any rate for the time being.

It would finally eliminate for Germany the threat of war on two fronts, and leave her free, in the long run, to concentrate on the west.
