Feltmarskal Alan Brooke, lederen af imperiegeneralstaben under 2. verdenskrig, anså interventionen i Grækenland for at være "en klar strategisk fejltagelse", da det fratog Wavell de nødvendige reserver til at kunne afslutte erobringen af Libyen, eller til at kunne modstå offensiven fra Erwin Rommels Afrika Korps i marts.
