Greek infantry in greatcoats
Greece stood alone against the Italian army in the winter of 1940-41 and fought desperate winter battles in the mountains of Northern Greece defeating the Italians in Albania and forcing a German intervention . One of the key questions of WW2 was, if Germany had not gone to Italy's aid delaying the invasion of Russia by 2 months, would Moscow have fallen before the Russian winter set in1941. This set of figures is intended to represent Greek infantry that fought in the winter battles against Italian troops in 1940 to 1941.
