معركة اليونان
معركة اليونان (وتُعهد أيضاً بإسم العملية ماريتا Marita، بالألمانية: Unternehmen Marita؛ بالإنگليزية: Battle of Greece) هي الاسم الشائع لغزوالمحور لليونان المنضوية ضمن للحلفاء من قِبل ألمانيا النازية في أبريل 1941 أثناء الحرب العالمية الثانية. وقد تضافرت مع الغزوالإيطالي الفاشي الفاشل المعروف بإسم الحرب الإيطالية اليونانية. وعادة ما تُميـَّز عن معركة كريت، التي اتىت في أعقاب إخضاع بر اليونان الرئيسي. تلك العمليات للمحور كانت جزءاً من حملة البلقان الأكبر لألمانيا.
At the time of the German invasion, Greece was at war with Fascist Italy, following the Italian invasion on 28 October 1940. The Greeks joined the Allies and defeated the initial Italian attack and the counter-attack of March 1941. When Operation Marita began onستة April, the bulk of the Greek Army was on the Greek border with Albania, then a protectorate of Italy, from which the Italian troops had attacked. German troops invaded from Bulgaria, creating a second front. Greece had already received a small, inadequate reinforcement from British Empire forces in anticipation of the German attack, but no more help was sent afterward. The Greek army found itself outnumbered in its effort to defend against both Italian and German troops. As a result, the Bulgarian defensive line did not receive adequate troop reinforcements and was quickly overrun by the Germans, who then outflanked the Greek forces at the Albanian border, forcing their surrender. The British Empire forces were overwhelmed and forced to retreat, with the ultimate goal of evacuation. For several days, Allied troops played an important part in containing the German advance on the Thermopylae position, allowing ships to be prepared to evacuate the units defending Greece. The German Army reached the capital, Athens, on 27 Aprila[›] and Greece's southern shore on 30 April, capturing 7,000 British Empire forces and ending the battle with a decisive victory. The conquest of Greece was completed with the capture of Crete a month later. Following its fall, Greece was occupied by the military forces of Germany, Italy and Bulgaria.
ولاحقاً أنحى هتلر باللوم لفشل غزوه الاتحاد السوڤيتي، الذي توجـَّب تأجيله، على فشل موسوليني فتح اليونان. هذا التفسير لهزيمة ألمانيا الكارثية أمام الاتحاد السوڤيتي دحضه معظم المؤرخون، الذين اتهموا هتلر بمحاولة ازاحة اللوم (لهزيمة بلاده) عن نفسه وإلصاقه بحليفته، إيطاليا. إلا حتى معركة اليونان كان لها عواقب وخيمة لمجهودات المحور الحربية في مسرح عمليات شمال أفريقيا. إنوفون رينتلن، الذي كان ملحقاً عسكرياً في روما، أكـَّد من وجهة النظر الألمانية، على الخطأ الاستراتيجي المتمثل في عدم الاستيلاء على مالطا.

You are listening to the voice of Greece. Greeks, stand firm, proud and dignified. You must prove yourselves worthy of your history. The valor and victory of our army has already been recognised. The righteousness of our cause will also be recognised. We did our duty honestly. Friends! Have Greece in your hearts, live inspired with the fire of her latest triumph and the glory of our army. Greece will live again and will be great, because she fought honestly for a just cause and for freedom. Brothers! Have courage and patience. Be stout hearted. We will overcome these hardships. Greeks! With Greece in your minds you must be proud and dignified. We have been an honest nation and brave soldiers.
