British talk intervention in Greece

Tuesday, January 14, 1941 www.onwar.com

In Greece... General Wavell and Air Marshal Longmore are in Athens (January 14-15) for talks with Prime Minister Metaxas and the Greek Commander in Chief, General Papagos. The Greeks ask for nine divisions and a substantial air component to be sent to support their forces. The Greeks have the equivalent of 13 divisions facing the larger Italian force in Albania and four facing the Bulgarians. At this stage the Germans have 12 divisions in Romania and more in Bulgaria. To meet such a force Wavell is able to offer only a small contribution now, but more later.
