P On October 28, 1940 Greece entered the second world war, after Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini (Il Duce)) demanded of Greece’s leader Ioannis Metaxas that he let Il Duce’s troops just march down from Albania and occupy the country. Metaxas responded with the apocryphal “”OHI” (no) and then his smaller and ill-equipped army proceeded to rout the larger and better-armed Italian one right back into Albania and occupy almost half of that country in the following months. This forced Hitler to come to Musollini’s rescue in the spring of 1941, to save him from being utterly humiliated by the Greeks. Hitler decided to redeploy some of his forces that were lined up to take part in Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of Russia, and have them come through his ally Bulgaria and occupy Greece. It is said, that later on in the war Hitler blamed Musollini’s failure to invade Greece and the need to redeploy his own troops to do the job and in turn the resulting delay in launching Operation Barbarosa, as the reasons that his invasion of the UUSR failed. Well there were actually many more factors besides, but little Greece takes pride in being the first country on the Allies side to beat an Axis power in WW II and show that they were not invincible. Up until then Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito and the rest of the Axis of WW II Evil had steamrolled over pretty much every country and place they set their sites on. Greece celebrates October 28 as one of the two major dates in the country’s political and military history. The other is March 21, which is the day in 1821 that Greeks revolted against their Ottoman overlords and thus began the seriers of wars that lay the foundation for the formation of the modern Greek state.
