    If you happened to miss it in the description, here's the link to the World War Two episode Indy mentions:
    "Mussolini plays Hitler like a fiddle - The Invasion of Greece"
    ruclips.net/video/GYznPPJutZ8/видео.html
    And if you're interested in the rise of fascism and Benito Mussolini in Italy during the interwar period, TimeGhost History Channel has an episode that touches on just that in their series "Between 2 Wars", of course narrated by Indy:
    "Rise of Fascism and Mussolini's March on Rome"

      ​@@johnpsathakis1964 Troy was not Greek according to the Iliad. They spoke different languages (Homer specifically mentions that they sounded like bleating sheep); Hector's battle cry was "Trojans, Lykians, and Dardanians!" and the city was in modern day Turkey. Assuming you believe the Iliad, which I have to assume you do, given it's the Aeneid (which took the character of Aeneas from the Iliad) which ties the founding of Rome to Troy. Additionally the Trojans are considered as Western Anatolian, not Greek. Go far enough back they have a common ancestor but the Trojan War was not a civil war which would require them to be in some way under the same political or military system prior to war breaking out which is definitely not the case.

    I don't exactly remember where I read it so I'll just post it again here, there's a joke among Greek people that Mussolini said that 2 weeks after his army has started it's invasion of Greece, he'd already be sitting in the acropolis drinking coffee, after the Italian army got bogged down in the north, a local Greek resident comes up to one of the Italian soldiers and tells him to "tell Mussolini that his coffee in the Acropolis is getting cold"

    Fun fact: my grandfather was conscripted in the italian army (Alpini regiment) for the invasion of Albania and then Greece.
    I never met him, he died before I was born. But trough my mom I was told that he sometimes shared stories about the war, but usually never talked about it and was an argument that in the family was known to better be avoided as they said he had been ruined by the experience “il giovanotto rovinato dalla guerra”. Everyone always told me that the worst stories were from the time he was made a POW in Athens after italy switched sides. The German army took him and sent him in a POW camp in west Germany to work in the railway system, he always said that he was one of the lucky ones “sometimes a potato fell off the train, so I could eat that day”

    • @geenagr
      @geenagr Год назад

      That is true. My grandpa fought in Albania and then he was in the resistance. But he always talked to me about the war and he was really good at describing the events. When the Italians capitulated, the Greeks (both the resistance and the population) tried their best to hide the Italian soldiers, as Germans were slaughtering them like cattle. They were hiding them in the mountains, waiting for getaway boats or masked them as family members (easy to do as we look really alike). Greek POWs in Italy were treated well, and Italian POW in Greece were treated well. After Italy's capitulation, both groups were sent to concentration camps where most of them perished.

    Hi, great video as always!!
    I want to point out some things, many people will get the impression that the italians were not ready at all and had very much equipment shortages.
    Greek soldiers could eat only every 3 days.
    70-75% of the soldiers were without RIFLES.
    Uniform shortages
    Boot shortages
    Low ammunition (by the time of 6 april, the german invasion. the army of epirus which is 180k men had only ammunition for 1 week). and the army of macedonia-thrace ( 65-67k men) had no anti-air no anti-tank no artillery (only mortars in THE FORTS).

    Imagine what would have happened if Mussolini actually worked along side his generals and allowed them the time to work out how to achieve the goals he set out. The Italians might have actually knocked greece out on their own. The Germans even said after they came in and delivered the final blow that the Italians had done most of the hard work. The Greeks were nearly out of ammunition for their artillery, and their lines were's shaky.
