Re: Books from the Japanese perspective
I have read the Italian edition of these books of personal accounts by Japanese men, I suggest them: - Yoshida Mitsuru - Requiem for Battleship Yamato ; - Kumiko Kakehashi - Letters from Iwo Jima . These history books, instead, while written by American authors, provide deep information also from a ...

The affair of the Axum obelisk should be closed since the end of the 1950's, given that the Negus Neghesti had made a verbal agreement with duke Amedeo d'Aosta (nephiew of the omonimous governor of Italian East Africa in WW2 and son of his brother Aimone di Spoleto, the appointed king of Croatia), i...

Given that in July 1945 Gen. Onodera (Japanese attaché in Sweden) arranged a meeting with Prince Carl Bernadotte to talk about the Japanese offers for surrender, maybe that same man was the link for other negotiations also in previous dates. If so, information can be found only in his wife's memorie...

Re: CRETE 1941 WHAT IF
The Germans used their airborne troops also in other smaller operation as well. To much to mention all but forinstance Leros or the Ardennes... You are right; here there is a list of airborne operations (all on a small scale after Crete) made by the Fallschirmjaeger: http://www.eagle19.freeserve.co...

Once the allies take French North Africa and Malta back, the supply situation for the axis is worse then it was before the fall of Suez and Malta. I don't see connections between the occupation of French N.Africa (unless they occupied also Tunisia, but it would have been occupied by fresh Axis unit...

Kuwait was a British protectorate untill 1961. Two other sources of oil were Baharain and Qatar, both British protectorates untill 1971.

There was the air drop on Cefalonia: http://www.geocities.com/kumbayaaa/itroyparadropkephalonia1941.html . Then the large commando operation made by the ADRA (Arditi Distruttori Regia Aeronautica) made by 14 squads of 10 men each started in the night of 13-14 June 1943: http://bunker.altervista.org/...
