- Balkans Sideshow
-
- April 11th, 1941
-
- Preparations for the invasion of Russia were well under way, when Italy's
- fiasco in the Balkans caught the Germans attentions. To bail out their
- foolish ally, General Von Kleist's 1st panzer Group was ordered to drive into
- Yugoslavia. In an effort to surround the city of Belgrade, the 22nd Panzer
- Divsion was ordered to sieze the villages of Nis and Natalinci. As the panzers
- rumble towards the villages, the defenders opened up with 75mm cannon fire.
- It would be long day for the men of the 22nd Panzer Division.
