The North African Campaign was a pivotal theater of operations during World War II, and it was of critical importance to Hitler for several reasons. Firstly, control of North Africa would have secured Germany's access to vital oil supplies from the Middle East, reducing its reliance on imports from the Americas and the Soviet Union. Secondly, it would have allowed Germany to outflank the British in the Mediterranean, potentially cutting off their supply lines to the Middle East and India. Thirdly, a successful campaign in North Africa could have facilitated an invasion of the Middle East, further expanding Germany's influence in the region and potentially drawing Turkey and other countries into the Axis camp. Additionally, Hitler believed that controlling North Africa would bolster his prestige and weaken the morale of his enemies.
