And Monte's entire 8th Army would have been in England and could have
been
used in an invasion along with the supporting RAF aircraft The invasion a
year
earlier was very possible had the MTO and African campaigns not taken
place..



No the 8th army was stopping the German sweeping through Egypt
and Palestine at the time.

Do you think it would have been a good idea to allow them
to take the Suez Canal, Egypy and Tel Aviv ?
