A German offensive from there is not really viable given Axis logistics. The Germans are just too stretched and the Turks/Chechnyans are good on the defensive but not so great on the offensive.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the Italians - their best, most elite, divisions are maybe slightly better than an average German division but not as good as an elite German division. Average Italian divisions are still below average German divisions in overall training, morale, etc. However, all in all the Italians are more capable than they ever were in OTL - due to them having better morale, a somewhat bigger and more developed industrial complex, and just more training and reforms in their military.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707410788628607465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935524795017491645.post-27553249253750092472007-07-23T22:12:00.000-07:002007-07-23T22:12:00.000-07:00Olefin here - obviously the Italians are not all i...Olefin here - obviously the Italians are not all in North Africa - what kind of forces do they have in France to help the Germans out in case of any US or British move?

Any attack that the Germans could pull off there with the Turks and Chechens, if it worked, would come up right behind the Ukrainian defenses the Soviets have built.
