Italian offensive in Albania

Sunday, March 9, 1941 www.onwar.com

In the Balkans... In Albania, the Italians launch an offensive along the front between the rivers Devoli and Vijose. There are a few local successes initially. The Italians have assembled 12 divisions for the attack and Mussolini himself has crossed to Albania to supervise the progress. There is little subtlety to the tactical plan and much that is reminiscent of World War I. The Greek intelligence of the direction of the attack is good and their defenses well prepared.

Great stuff again....I actually understand most of the 20 questions & could make some “educated” guesses on a lot of them.

In addition, interesting article on “income taxes.” The article verified one of my guesses.

Also found out that the fiscal year ended on June 30th back then....I wonder what triggered the change to the current Sept 30?
