Pub Note:
"As Hitler had several potential campaigns reaching into Africa, The Middle East, as well as Europe, here we see the possibility of the Japanese expanding from Burma to reach the Persian Gulf, and even potentially set up air bases on Madagascar. As U.S. supply lines were still moving in supplies from Lagos and up to Cairo, the Allies were quickly trying to contain the malignant Axis powers." (Curtis Bird, 2024)
