On this day in 1940 Italian troops invaded mainland Greece. Within 4 months they will have been pushed back into Albania, in what's considered by many, the first Axis setback of WW2.

The Italians really did the allies a huge favour. Start trouble in Greece and North Africa, have your ass kicked and then let the Germans deal with yet another front.

German joke from WW2:

Hitler is told Italy joining the war.

"Kein problem, we only need to commit 2 extra divisions, that will finish them!"

"Mein Führer, they're on our side!"

"Verdammt! We'll need 10 extra divisions."

The Greeks actually looked after Italian soldiers and hid them in their houses from the Germans! I will forever be great full for way the Greeks helped Italy considering the circumstances!
