If Allied forces had held Greece

If Greece had held, how could the Allies have used it, including for strikes toward Crimea?

It could support strikes and submarines, with a possible Soviet supply route that might also draw Axis forces into a prepared engagement.

An Allied-held Greece could support strikes against Romanian fuel facilities and targets in Italy. Submarines could also operate from Greek bases. Greece might provide another route for supplying the Soviet Union's southern front, although that possibility depends on passage through the Turkish straits. A convoy toward the Dardanelles could also deliberately draw German and Italian forces into a prepared engagement. The proposal connects supply operations with an opportunity to choose the circumstances of a naval confrontation.
