The Italians never made it into Greece. The Greeks spanked them in Albania and forced hitler to use real troops to take Greece. Thousands of the Greek soldiers and military commanders fled as a result of the nazi invasion. The only group to make a determined stand against the nazis, were the Cretians. The follow on Greek resistance movements ended up fighting themselves more so than the nazi occupiers.

I suppose if the Greeks want to claim some sort of military prowess, they could argue that they held out longer than France did.

You’re so full of hot air. Is that what the propaganda books teach you there in Nazi land?

One of the most heroic aspects of WWII was the brave Greeks who killed as many of the inhuman nazi krauts and Commies they could get...allowing the Red Army to bash them good.

Which puts the Greeks somewhat below Ethiopia in the realm of good fighters during WWII.

:-P
