Discover the Lessons of a Challenging Allied Campaign

The campaign to assist Greece against the seemingly invincible German juggernaut was poorly conceived and doomed from the start. However, this historical event holds valuable lessons for students of strategy, tactics, and history.

Greece's unique geography presented significant challenges for the defending forces. Its mountainous defiles dictated the distribution of ports, road, and rail routes, making it difficult to establish a strong defensive posture. The primitive state of the national infrastructure further hindered the defensive efforts.

Operating in Greece proved to be a logistical nightmare, especially for the struggling logistics units. The rugged terrain and primitive communication systems, coupled with the enemy's total air superiority, created immense difficulties. Additionally, poor liaison between the Greek and Commonwealth forces and inadequate deployment further exacerbated the situation.

Throughout the campaign, the allies never achieved air superiority, and their attempts to establish an effective in-depth defence were futile. The official British history of the campaign described it as a continuous withdrawal.

In "Greece: February to April 1941," author Michael Tyquin delves into the complexities and mistakes of this challenging campaign. This paperback edition spans 168 pages, providing a comprehensive exploration of this historical event.
