"It would ultimately ensure victory over German forces."

Reason: Securing North Africa and Italy removed Axis control of the Mediterranean, deprived Germany and Italy of bases and resources, forced Germany to divert troops to the Mediterranean, knocked Italy out of the war, and provided bases for an invasion of southern Europe — all contributing to defeating Germany.
