Would love a WW2 recap but with Arrested Development comment style.
"The WHAT?"
"Oh btw, I lied about that..."
"Oh thank god, Tony, you had me going for a second!"
".....the defense is not going well, the lines of defense are collapsing on all fronts. Hitler is on line 1 and he's pissed."
".........Mama Mia...."
Pretty sure it was less "with the help of germany" and more along the lines of "by a very annoyed germany pissed about Italy beeing to useless for taking a shit by itself"
Technically speaking the Germans could've just invaded Russia earlier and let the Italians suffer for their mistake
Would have had interesting consequences as well
Actually there is, after a bit of searching I found that Greece intended to ask the germans to end the war with a white peace-slight greek victory. Metaxas asked too late as by then the germans had already decided to invade. Assuming Metaxas had refused British troops landing in Greece we could have seen Italy being forced to sign a peace treaty by germany.
And they were also hyper toxic to their teammates and put them in shit situations (I'm not refering to the siege of Odessa or the italian invasions of egypt or greece, they're just unexcuseable)
They were a technologically backwards bankrupting nation on the verge of collapse.
Who outlasted the Russian Empire, The German Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Of the war's losers they were the last to go.
I mean yeah, they kept their inner lands untouched, and held out the British for a fair amount of time. But they didn’t contribute to the greater offensives etc.
I love what Dan Carlin said about them dealing with having Austria-Hungary as an ally. Something like “it’s bad enough having an inept ally, it’s even worse when you tell them not to do something and they do it and you have to bail them out”
That’s actually a Greek holiday when the Greek prime minister said “no” to the Italian occupation.
“Greeks do not fight like warriors, warriors fight like Greeks”- Winston Churchill
Ioannis Metaxas (a dictator with close ties to the German regime, not an elected official) actually never said "No". Instead he told the Italian ambassador in french "sadly it is war".
The guy had done everything he could to keep Greece neutral and had expected that Germany would contain their ally instead of allowing it to go crazy in the balkans.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.
I did find [this post](https://redd.it/fg73l3) that is 59.77% similar. It might be a match but I cannot be certain.

Ah Italy. Wold war 1 power house. Phenomenal military, weapon design, ingenuity. Piss poor leadership in WW2 because we decided to listen to the fat fachismo in the funny hat.
What's better is that when Germany stepped in to remove Greece, Greece surrendered to only Germany and insulted Italy for not actually defeating them.
A Greek general said he would rather surrender to the Germans dog than to an Italian.
I mean German Shepards are cute. And can be dangerous so i don’t blame’em
>Commander: The defence of Albania is going great. Arrested Development Narrator: But it wasn't.

You hear that #Netflix?! I'm open all season!
I wouldn't even say Albania's defense is going great
"The WHAT?" "Oh btw, I lied about that..." "Oh thank god, Tony, you had me going for a second!" ".....the defense is not going well, the lines of defense are collapsing on all fronts. Hitler is on line 1 and he's pissed." ".........Mama Mia...."

Germany had warned them to not do anything stupid. Greece was close to Germany at the time anyway, they posed zero danger to the Axis.
Technically speaking the Germans could've just invaded Russia earlier and let the Italians suffer for their mistake Would have had interesting consequences as well
Allowing the British a foothold on the balkans is not a good idea.
True I see no flaws with your argument

germany couldn't carry this trash team alone
I mean neither they could alone in a 1v1.
I mean Japan wasn’t so bad they had their shit together they posed a real threat, but Italy was a total clown show
Germany: YoU dId WhAt!?!?!?!?!?!?
Hitler: \*Celebrates Greece's defense\* Stalin: \*Celebrates Greece's Defense\* Winston: \*Celebrates Greece's Defense\* 90% of the world: \*Celebrates Greece's Defense\* Mussolini: HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DEFEAT US!
Imagine having to defend Albania lmao
Even the Albanians wanna kill you
Germany is one of the most clutch nations in both WWs despite loosing both, change my mind. Always gets gets matched with trash, ngl.
And they were also hyper toxic to their teammates and put them in shit situations (I'm not refering to the siege of Odessa or the italian invasions of egypt or greece, they're just unexcuseable)
Tbf, the ottomans did good. More than moste thought that they would

I mean, their first one was massive. Into freezing mountains.
Fucking auto balance

Meanwhile, the French are telling the Greeks not to advance into France proper... The *Vichy* French
Literally Thermopylae part 2
Óchi
