Greek Soldier

Greek infantry resisted the Italian invasion from Albania in October 1940 and counterattacked into Albanian territory. Germany’s intervention in April 1941 overwhelmed the mainland defense, followed by the battle for Crete. Greek forces subsequently continued the war from the Middle East alongside the Allies. Greek wartime service extended beyond the initial defense against Italy, encompassing the German invasion, occupation, resistance, and the continued fighting of Greek forces alongside the Allies. Occupation produced resistance and severe civilian suffering, while the exile forces maintained a separate Allied contribution. Greek military history therefore continued beyond the defeat of the mainland army. The Greek army’s performance in Albania checked the initial Italian invasion before German intervention changed the campaign.
