Securing Hitler's Flank: The Balkans, 1940-1941
Podcast: Key Battles of American HistoryPublished On: Wed May 10 2023
Description: Prior to launching his massive attack on the Soviet Union, Hitler wanted to make sure his flanks were secure. He secured his “left flank” (Finland) and part of his “right flank” (the Balkans) through a combination of threats and diplomacy. However, Yugoslavia and Greece refused to knuckle under, and so Hitler invaded them. In this episode, Sean and James discuss the status of Finland and the Balkans in 1940 and 1941 and Hitler’s efforts to bring them under Axis control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
