OF COURSE these newsreels make the Germans out to be heroes.
ALL countries do that, not just "NAZIS." You angry people need understand that. YOu claim Germans got slaughtered? 4100 soldiers dead in 10 days isn't too much. Crete was captured. Like them or not this was one hell of a daring move. It wasn't about killing Greeks as much as it was taking a
piece of land to disrupt the British in the Mediterranean.

Sorry,but Germans did not won the Greek army.The Axis did.Italy,Germany,Bulgaria and Albania attacked Greece at the same time.Greeks were heavily outnombered,defend theircountry against opponents which were armed to the teaths,supported by heavy aircraft.Please,read the historical sources.Greece allready had more than a half year fighting Italy at that time,but on their owns they were no match for the Greek army.

I dont think the Germans wouldnt dare to attack Greece on their own.That would cost to much manpower,needet somewhere else.Even so the Greeks managed well.They stand much longer than "la grand nation" or Poland or anyother, and were the only Allied for the Britains for over 6 months.German Paratroopers had bad losses in Creta.The point is the Germans lost too much time.Plan Barbarossa started months later.The freezy cold winter stoped the German attack.

Strategicaly i think they had better give the Russians what they wanted(half Balkans)for not go to war with them.

why are you all talking about Germany being affraid of atacking Greece on its own?These are fairytales and u know that.Greece was occupied slower because of the terrian.Look on a map and you will understand what im saying if your not an idiot.And yes atacking Greece cost Germany the war because Barbarossa was postponed by 50 days,but it was a move Hitler felt compelled to make because Mussolini failed miserably

Mussolini and his army are non existent. Italy didnt help any in the axis. they cant even invade malta(a tiny island) and greece. Italy biggest help is that their country is strategically important route going to the mediterean and africa campaign. BUT ITALY NEVER WON ANY CAMPAIGN IN WW2! ITALY=OPPURTUNISTIC!
