The Strategy of Greek Defense in Pindos
October 28, 2026
The battle in Pindos in 1940 saw the Italian division 'Julia' face 2,000 Greek soldiers. Despite their numerical advantage, the Italians struggled due to the rugged terrain. The Greeks, although at a disadvantage, managed to hold their positions and buy time until reinforcements arrived. The counterattack that began in early November changed the course of the battle. This turnaround forced the Italians to reassess their strategy.
