Third Reich Series 8: Conquest of the Balkans
by Time Life Editorial Department
About This Novel
The Balkan Peninsula has always been a battleground for military strategists, and World War II was no exception. Starting in 1939, Hitler quickly occupied many countries in Eastern, Western and Northern Europe in a blitzkrieg style. While bombing Britain indiscriminately, Hitler planned to continue to expand the territory of the Third Reich and realize his dream of dominating Europe. At this time, the Soviet Union became his enemy on the road to dominance. Before attacking the Soviet Union, Hitler must ensure that the Balkans became his energy base and troop gathering place for the invasion of the Soviet Union. While wooing, tempting and threatening the Balkan countries, Hitler did not hesitate to carry out armed invasions of Yugoslavia and Greece that refused to surrender.
