In October 1940 an Italian army some 200,000 strong invaded Greece across its largely undefended border with Albania. Although supported by Great Britain, at first by sea and in the air and later by landing British and ANZAC troops from North Africa, Greece bore the main brunt of the six-month war. Outclassed in material and outnumbered, Lt. Gen. Papagos's Greek army was so successful against the Italians in north-west Greece that, by late 1940, it was advancing into Italian-held Albania. Complete with contemporary photographs and uniform plates, this fascinating study explores the history, organization and appearance of the armies of the conflict.
