What do the germans want their own permanent base there for? Are they going to fly out migrants direct to germany, avoiding nasty places like austria, greece etc. Or is this what Churchill always feared, a german military toe hold in the middle east.
My old man would be going mad about this, he had enough problems with the last lot and the Afrika Korp in North Africa and German inspired uprisings across the middle east in Iraq and Iran.
Still no need for him to worry too much tthese days zee Germans would be alongside the UK and USA in causing any such military problems in the middle east.
