Ochi: The Italian Invasion of Greece, 1940

[JayTownsend]

One interesting fact by one author, states that the Italian focused more on the Greek War than the North African War. They sent 10,000 vehicles to the Greek front while only sending 2,500 vehicles to the North African front in the Fall of 1940. They also sent much needed armor to the Greek front instead of North Africa where it would have been more useful than the mountains of Albanian & Greece. Tons of supplies and manpower and airpower was also diverted to the Greek War. The North African Campaign would have looked very different if not for this conflict. Interesting as Paolo Morisi states it very well in his book Steel Centurions on page 106.
