My grandma was a kid too! She lived in Peloponnesus at the time and everything was relatively fine until an Italian soldier who was patroling warned them of the upcoming German occupation and told them to stock up whatever food they could. That action saved my grandma's family from starving early on and held out until the end of the war. Or at least that is what I was told and it could be sugarcoated because I was child. Later on I found out the true trauma in my grandma as I watched her wake up from nightmares when I visited her or calling me by her siblings' names and having panic attacks that the Nazis were bombing her home again. Once I found her hoarding food and told her that she didn't have to and that she had to eat her plate in order to get her meds, she looked at me and asked: "So, I can eat all this plate, Vivian? This is all for me? Did you ate? Is there more for the others?" My name isn't Vivian, Vivian was her younger sister If I don't mistake the birth order...they were nine kids so I confuse the order at times. Anyhow, I stood up after I calmed her down and reassured that it was her food and no one else's and she started to cry from joy that she could eat her plate. It broke me inside. I went to the bathroom and sobbed for 5 minutes before I forced myself to stop and go back to her. When I returned she was embarrassed at how weak she seemed but she wasn't. My grandma was never weak and her breaking down like that reinforced my belief that my grandma was a badass. All my grandparents were badasses and I don't think I will ever live up to them but I will try.

The committed Greek troops actually outnumbered the committed Italian troops. Furthermore the infrastructure in Albania was so poor that Italy really could not easily send more. The Greek counterattack into Albania eventually ground to a halt in no small part for that same reason.

Italians: *We have the some of the best gear in Europe* Greeks: *As long as the gun fires, it's enogh*

I’m from Nafpaktos, Greece and my grandfather was in the war. He actually learned Italian and killed an Italian soldier and wore his uniform so he could find out axis plans and was responsible for many Nazi and Italian deaths, he was eventually shot in the leg and taken to a camp but his family busted him out.

Greece & Italy were always respecting each other. For sure we had our differences and sometimes war between us, but in general we love each other because basically we have the same mentallity. In WW2, Italian soldiers were not cruel like the Nazis or the Bulgarians that occupied Macedonia and Thrace, and Greek people saw that and responded with kindness when needed. When Italy turned sides and was with the allies, the Nazis tried to get rid of Italian soldiers. In the island of Kephallonia they massacred 12.000 Italian troops, and the Greek population helped Italians hide and also treated the wounded ones.

I read, years ago, the account of an Italian infantrymen who was part of the invasion. His unit advanced to contact, encountering a Greek strongpoint. They called for tank support, and a tank showed up. The tank fired a round, and several of its rivets popped out. It fired a second round, and its armored plating began to fall off. At this point, the whole infantry company surrendered to the Greeks en masse. Mussolini simply had no idea how unprepared his Army really was.

@John R Ok,I think I formulated this wrong. I didn't mean that the soldiers are free of fault and punishment,what I meant is that in the big picture,the officers and other higher-up are actually responsible for the ultimate success of their operations and their men's actions on the field,the soldiers are merely doing the heavy lifting. Also,an officer is supposed to ensure his men are well disciplined,trained and motivated. If,like you said,some soldiers would start raping or something,I'd say that the bigger blame is to the officer for not only allowing it to happen,but also not trying to prevent it by disciplining them. Same for when they are into combat,there are numerous examples where a weaker army managed to defeat a much stronger army due to their competent leadership. In conclusion,while the regular soldiers are not free of blame,I think their officers are to be blamed a bit more than them.

There definitely are bad soldiers. But "there are no bad soldiers, only bad officers" is absolutely the right attitude for an officer to have, especially considering that it is the concern of the NCO's, not the commissioned officers, to turn bad soldiers into good soldiers. The officer's only concern is to lead those soldiers as well as he can. A task which will be greatly undermined if he is constantly blaming his soldiers for his own failures. I categorize this statement under: False statements that are nevertheless useful to believe. Other examples include: "A five second fuse only lasts three seconds" (will prevent you from hanging onto a grenade too long) From the student's perspective-"There is no such thing as a bad teacher, only a bad student" (will prevent a student from blaming a teacher's methods for their own bad study habits) From the teacher's perspective-"There is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher" (will prevent a teacher from blaming a student's study habits for their own bad teaching methods) "No good thing ever comes easily" (may motivate you to work harder for those things that really don't come easily) "Your only limit is your imagination" (will prevent you from giving up too early) "There is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse" (may prevent rash actions that could exacerbate an already bad situation)

The Greeks capitulated only after all their machine gun ammunition was expended, with the Germans acknowledging the valiant stand at the border by not taking any prisoners and allowing the Greek officers to keep their sidearms. At Roupel, the German mountain troops lost more than 300 soldiers while the Greeks lost 50. The Greeks are hardy fighters, but lost due to the severe lack of heavy equipment, tanks, air support, and British unwillingness to send multiple divisions to hold the front due to Africa.
