Greek Mountain Infantry

Greek mountain troops belong to a military setting in which rugged terrain, narrow roads, and limited transport strongly shaped operations. During the Second World War Greek forces resisted the Italian invasion from Albania and fought a winter campaign in difficult country before Germany intervened in 1941. Mountain formations needed endurance and support suited to terrain that restricted vehicles. The Greek-Italian war began in October 1940 when Italy invaded from Albania, and fighting in the Pindus mountains made mountain training especially significant. Greek forces counterattacked into Albania before the German invasion in April 1941 transformed the campaign and overwhelmed the mainland defense.
