Hellas: did we change the course of WWII??

[hellenes]

Due to the recently revealed discussion of Hitler and his statement that he had to split forces to clear up the Italian mess...I come to thinking did we the Hellenes change the route of global history (once again )?
And the most ironic is that the regime that said no to Mussolini was the nationalsocialist regime of the 4th August:



Britain had always a firm grip over Greece and still has...

[Kralizec]

So many things went wrong with the way that Germany and especially Italy handled the war that it's probably wrong to say that this or that instance really sealed their coffin. I imagine it helped, though.

[Vorian]

Nope didn't change it. We made it a little easier for the Russians though.

[Boyar Son]

Well if that changed the course...

might as well ad:

D-Day

Midway

Battle of Britain

Allied invasion into Africa.... you know what, everone get to change something in the war

You've all got it wrong, it was New Zealand who won the war and sealed Germany's fate. It was the New Zealander Keith Park who won the Battle of Britain. It was Kiwis who held the pass of Thermopylae against the German armour while the British made preparations for the evacuation. It was the New Zealand troops that inflicted the heavy casualties on the German paratroops at Crete causing Hitler to call an end to paratroop operations. It was New Zealand troops who won the battle of El Alamain and it was Kiwis who led the charge once the big breakthrough was made on the Italian front in 1945.



Just kidding. New Zealanders didn't win the war. We played an important part, just like everyone else. Yes Greece did affect the outcome of the war but so did everyone else too, even New Zealand.

With such a huge conflict like WW2, you can't really pinpoint any specific thing that is responsible for changing the course of the war - there are too many of them. I guess we could suggest the Battle of Britain as being one of the few major turning points - one little island fending back the might of the Reich. And then obviously there was another person who helped change it all - Hitler himself with his foolish invasion of Russia.

Just kidding, indeed ... you obviously meant to say 'Australians'
