By not invading Malta, it was heavily bombed but it was never invaded. If it was invaded instead of Crete, the supply problems in the Africa Korps were plagued with would have been a lesson. With that the case, Rommell and the Italians would have made it to the Suez Canal. The long term outcome would not have changed.
What kind of weapon's were used?
Poisonous gas was used in World War II even though it wasn't allowed. Which is another reason why mostly every country wanted to eliminate Germany. Hitler used "blitzkrieg" tactics, which is German for "lightning
warfare" this involved a quick strike behind enemy lines with
paratroopers and tanks, planes would also bomb vital
points such as command centers and the infantry would just mop up.
This worked extremely well, because France was expecting trench warfare.
they had dug a massive trench with impenetrable bulwarks and turrets
and such called the Maginot line", but this was all useless because
Hitlers troops were simply dropped behind the lines by plane, and the
tanks simple rode over most trenches.
Offensive thinking was used and had been vogue ever since the 1870's, despite the more recent experiences of the Second Boer War (1904-05), where the machine gun demonstrated its defensive capabilities.
