This review is from: Invasion Balkans!: The German Campaign in the Balkans, Spring 1941 (Hardcover)

Good, if brief, summary of Balkan campaign. Reviews political, logistical, and force aspects of the campaigns, but left me wanting to know more of somethings but less of others. For example, he lists a detailed order of battle for the German forces arranged against Yugoslavia, but leaves you to find out on your own what the composition of a German Tank Corps would be, when a simple table would provide lots of clarity. For the Yugoslavia campaign, the bulk of the writing involves preparations, and the combat narrative is a bare skeleton. The Greek campaign is described in somewhat more detail and leaves the reader with a better understanding. The photos might be interesting if they were not too fuzzy to interpret. The maps are almost illegible and therefore unhelpful.
