They might have been slightly more effective if they didn't invade Greece and Egypt at the same time, therefore weakening both attacks.

@marcokite there's no "plus" when the reason the greeks trounced them is because they had half their forces in egypt lol

@peteryang8991 No they didn't. They could have remained neutral but instead chose to take advantage of the German victory in France. They thought the war would soon be over so decided to invade France and then Greece, Egypt etc.

@DrCruel I'd say splitting their armies between Greece and Egypt was a bigger reason as to why they got trounced. Some historians would also say Germany was corrupt yet German corruption didn't affect it's operations negatively, until it's forces were split in July 1942 and further more in 1943 and 1944.
