Seriously, much less supplies is needed for invading malta than egypt, if you don't believe me look at their sizes. What is there to read that he lost as exactly feared by Albert Keeserling and German General staff who didn't wanted to invade egypt? Now you are trying to prove my points for me. Oh, do read your own quoted text first. Going for Egypt would had meant his supply lines becoming more large and supplies having to cover more distance while British forces from malta are interdicting his supply lines, so it was more logical (as Keserling and German General staff saw) to neutralize the threat of Malta rather than lengthening the already strained supply lines by going for Egypt.
Oh god! Malta certainly was not easier in light of the strength of the British navy! The decision to pull out from Malta came from Hitler. Why?
In April, Hitler was forced to intervene in the Balkans which led to the campaign of that name; it was also known as the German invasion of Yugoslavia and included the Battle of Greece. The subsequent campaign and the heavy German losses in the Battle of Crete convinced Hitler that air drops behind enemy lines, using paratroopers, was no longer feasible unless surprise was achieved. He acknowledged that the chances of success in an air operation of that kind were low. Hitler lived up to his word, the German airborne forces did not undertake any such operations again. This had important consequences for Malta, as it indicated the island was only at risk from an Axis siege. In June, Hitler attacked the Soviet Union under Operation Barbarossa. Fliegerkorps X departed for the Eastern Front, and the Regia Aeronautica was left to continue its ineffective hit and run tactics against Malta in the coming months.[77] Geisler, commanding the remnants of Fliegerkorps X, could only count upon mine-laying aircraft from Kampfgeschwader 4 (KG 4) and Ju 87s in night operations. Supply issues were bad, the small German force left was forced to abandon operations on 22 April 1941. By early May 1941, the Luftwaffe had flown 1,465 strike, 1,144 fighter and 132 reconnaissance missions for just 44 losses.[78] III./Kampfgeschwader 30 (KG 30) and III./Lehrgeschwader 1 (KG 1) flew sporadic night attacks during April.[79]

Get with the program bud...You appear to have an expectation that Rommel was supposed to single handedly defeat the Allies while ignoring how stretched German military resources and supplies were in Malta.

Haha. Well pray tell what was the Russian way post WW2 occupation? Democracy? Were all the countries I showed you democratic after Russia finished with them? Stop obfuscating the issue, a simple yes or no will suffice, but you wont answer, because you know you cant.

Germany and Austria both were divided into respective occupation zones by allies and yet Soviet Occupation zone in Germany went commie unlike Soviet occupation zone in Austria making your claim false. And for third time Finland wasn't made commie even after loosing the war once again.
Fail.
AGREEMENT ON CONTROL MACHINERY IN AUSTRIA;
according to this agreement, the Governments of the USA, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the UK and the Provisional Government of the French Republic decided that after the liberation from the nazis, Austria would be free to organize election for a new government in a "free and independent state".
It says: "in view of the declaration issued at Moscow on the 1st November 1943, in the name of the Governments of the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United Kingdom, whereby the three Governments announced their agreement that Austria should be liberated from German domination, and declared that they wished to see re-established a free and independent Austria; and in view of the subsequent declaration issued at Algiers on 16th November, 1943, by the French Committee of National Liberation, concerning the independence of Austria;
have reached the following agreement with regard to the Allied Control Machinery which will operate in Austria until the establishment of a freely elected Austrian government recognized by the four Powers:
ARTICLE 1
The Allied Control Machinery in Austria will consist of an Allied Council, an Executive Committee and staffs appointed by the four Governments concerned, the whole organisation being known as the Allied Commission for Austria.
ARTICLE 2
The Allied Council will consist of four Military Commissioners, one appointed by each of the Governments concerned. In addition to being members of the Allied Council, the Military Commissioners will each be in supreme command of the forces of occupation in Austria furnished by his Government.
Supreme authority in Austria will be exercised jointly, in respect of matters affecting Austria as a whole, by the Military Commissioners on instructions from their respective Governments, in their capacity as members of the Allied Council. Subject to this, each Military Commissioner, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the forces of occupation furnished by his Government, will exercise supreme authority in the zone occupied by those forces. Each Commander-in-Chief in his zone of occupation will have attached to him for liaison duties military, naval and air representatives of the other Commanders-in-Chief of forces of occupation in Austria.
Regarding Finland, Stalin's actions in 1939 and 1940 were indeed targeted at restoring the territory of USSR to the extents of the Russian Empire! Invasion of Poland, then Winter War against Finland in which USSR captured Karelia (probably less than originally intended, all of Finland used to be Russian province), then finally recapturing of Bessarabia and the Baltic states. All of these territories used to belong to the Russian Empire and were given away in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. So getting them back was well-received in the population! This is a very common fact. The Moscow Peace Treaty of 1940 handed most of Finnish Karelia to the Soviet Union. That excludes the following territories they ceased.

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the area has experienced massive urban decay. The hastily and poorly constructed buildings from the Soviet era, as well as older houses remaining from the Finnish era, are being abandoned.
