Book Description
This publication, one of a series written by German officers in American captivity and produced after the Secopnd World War by US military intelligence, studies the German operations to conquer Yugoslavia and Greece and the invasion of Crete. It also looks at the effect of these operations on the subsequent invasion of Russia. The German attack on Yugoslavia was carried out in conjunction with Italian and Hungarian troops, and a section of the report examines such co-operation. It also looks at the logistics of the campaign and the problems that arose The invasion of Greece follows, together with an analysis of the use of tanks in mountain country, air support and mountain warfare training and equipment. The final section of the battle reports considers the successful airborne attack on Crete, followed by the seaborne landings on the island. The campaigns are treated chronologically and in great detail. Problems are clearly stated and the solutions explained. There is also an analysis of the relevant enemy forces within the narrative. This is a first-class report which gathers all the relevant information into one book, so that the whole German eastern Mediterranean strategy in 1941 can be examined, and it puts this into the context of the coming larger undertaking against Russia, which, some say, was fatally flawed by the delay imposed by these smaller operations in the Balkans. There are seven detailed maps .

Book Description
This WWII history presents an in-depth study of the Battle of Greece and a provocative new analysis of Nazi military tactics. Every student of the Second World War is familiar with the infamous Nazi military tactics known as blitzkrieg—or “lightning war.” In the early days of the war, these rapid attacks brough about the demise first of Poland and then the Low Countries and France. But were these tactics really as devastating as they seemed? That is the major question Jeffrey Plowman asks in this absorbing new study of the campaign in Greece in 1941. Within three weeks, the Germans overran the country. However, a close analysis of the campaign reveals that they never gained ascendancy over the token British and Anzac force sent to bolster the Greek defenders. They came close to doing so, but the Anzac troops and their Greek allies put up a spirited defense that sometimes turned the Germans’ own methods against them. This perceptive new account should prompt a reassessment of the Greek campaign. It also offers a fascinating insight into the weaknesses of the Germans’ all-conquering method of warfare which became increasing apparent during the later stages of the war.

Book Description
The German campaigns in the Balkans, Greece and the seizure of Crete are detailed in this long neglected account of the campaign as described from the German point of view. Out of print since the fifties, this new edition is edited and introduced by Emmy Award winning author and historian Bob Carruthers. Based mainly on original German records and post-war military writings by veterans including Dr. Helmut Greiner, General Burkharth Mueller-Hillebrand, and General Hans von Greiffenberg, this fascinating account encompasses the lessons and conclusions drawn from the same German sources. The work of preparing this study in English, which consisted of translating basic German records and manuscripts, performing additional research, expanding and then rewriting the narratives with an eye for continuity and factual data, was done chiefly by Mr. George E. Blau of the Foreign Studies Branch, Special Studies Division, Office of the Chief of Military History. In the process of presenting the material, every effort has been made to give a balanced account of German strategy and operations in the Balkans during the spring of 1941.
