@looinrims Italy won in Greece and not because of Germany, get your history straight.

@looinrims Greeks invaded Albania? What? Greeks ONLY had an initial push back of Italian forces into Albania, after that a war of attrition that Italy eventually won. Do you want Hitler's speech where he attributed Italy with the win and how that saved the Balkans? Do you want proof it was Italy that made Rommel?

@jiridrapal7512 What's your point? Virtually every European country had cowering collaborators who conveniently switched back to the Allies at the end. Italy's fascist continued with the Nazi's until the end as did the non fascist with the Allies.

@looinrims Hey GNOME...Greece pushed back the Italians and they retreated into Albania, the Greeks did not INVADE Albania.

@looinrims "As the British bombers and fighter aircraft struck Italy's forces and bases, the Greeks completed their mobilization and counter-attacked with the bulk of their army to push the Italians back into Albania – an advance which culminated in the Capture of Klisura Pass in January 1941, a few dozen kilometers inside the Albanian border." First, help from Britain, second an entire few dozen kilometers...WHAT AN INVASION! Italians quickly pushed them back out. By April, Greece was reduced to 1 month of supplies left and on the brink of defeat when Germans arrived.

@looinrims Remember also, Italy was off of decades of fighting/conquests in N. Africa and the majority force that won the Spanish civil war that greatly depleted Italian forces and led to the "weak" performance in Greece. Proven FACTS, RARELY mentioned by historians. If they had attacked Greece a few years earlier, it would have been over in 2-3 months.

@looinrims And even after the Italians had Greece 90% defeated, your mighty Germans still had difficulties... The German Air Ministry was shocked by the number of transport aircraft lost in the battle, and Student, reflecting on the casualties suffered by the paratroopers, concluded after the war that Crete was the death of the airborne force. Hitler, believing airborne forces to be a weapon of surprise which had now lost that advantage, concluded that the days of the airborne corps were over and directed that paratroopers should be employed as ground-based troops in subsequent operations in the Soviet Union

@looinrims Deflect off Rommel, and Hitler's speech girl you love deflecting

@looinrims Who occupied 2/3 of Greece?

@looinrims Did the Italians sign a surrender treaty? Tell me how Greece won, girl.

@looinrims Time for the real world and not games and fantasy worlds girl.

@looinrims No, that's not an invasion GNOME, and Hitler made the speech in his address to the Reichstag Let's see you defend your hero Rommel as the guy who achieved everything in N. Africa while the Italians were secondary and virtually didn't exist according to PROPAGANDA.

@looinrims "Deep" according to that author? What is "deep" since it is not explained. GNOME. The front stabilized in February 1941, by which time the Italians had reinforced the Albanian front to 28 divisions against the Greeks' 14 divisions (though Greek divisions were larger). In March, the Italians conducted the unsuccessful Spring Offensive. At this point, losses were mutually costly, but the Greeks had far less ability than the Italians to replenish their losses in both men and materiel, and they were dangerously low on ammunition and other supplies. They also lacked the ability to rotate out their men and equipment, unlike the Italians.[3] Requests by the Greeks to the British for material aid only partly alleviated the situation, and by April 1941 the Greek Army only possessed one more month's worth of heavy artillery ammunition and was unable to properly equip and mobilize the bulk of its 200,000–300,000 strong reserves.[9]
