Why didn’t the Germans and Italians send troops to Iraq in the Anglo-Iraqi War in greater quantities? I know they both sent aircraft to Iraq and eventually they found the conditions to be intolerable. But why couldn’t they send troops from Greece to Vichy Syria, and finally to Iraq? Would it have taken too long, or was there an issue with Turkey? Or was their issue British air superiority? You guys make my weekendS keep it up!
