Can we use Crete? A smaller scale Operation Fortitude. If we plan an invasion of Crete, and 'prepare' for it we could use it if conditions are right, or at least tie troops down on Crete so they aren't in Africa.

Sometimes I crash in the weeds

One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds

Firstly, the situation near the Egyptian border seems to be rather untenable. Retreat backwards, but keep the pressure on Tobruk up.
Supply: I told you all I wanted the Brandenburgers to stop this, you didn't listen to me.
Attack Crete. We're not dropping into Alexandria anyway because dropping into an urban zone is suicide. The British destroyers based in Crete won't attack our convoys anymore if we take the island, and we can base aircraft off Crete to raid Alexandria with. So we should take Crete with the FSJ and Luftlande, as well as other divisons.
We don't have any FJ and Luftlande at the moment, so it will be hard to deploy them against Crete
