We have the first third of the Nai l94l conate behind us.A new period begins in which there must be increased war activity, which is made possible by nature itself, namely by the weather which is more favourable for war operations.And we can see that both parties wrestling around the war decision have come to work.Hitler, after the end of the Balkan campaign, has the It is clear that Iraq's attack on English military units is a sign of the crucibles around Suez, Egypt and North Africa.Hitler wants to take advantage of the advance of his soldiers in conquered Greece as quickly as possible and he hopes that the air force's actions from the occupied islands will be panicked.
