Italy declared war on Greece October 28th, 1940 but by December, Mussolini’s troops had stalled. Then the unthinkable happened: in November, the Greek Army launched a counter-offensive and drove the Italians out of Greece and back into Albania. On December 19th, 1940, in the Hilmara region, the Greek forces assaulted Italian troops entrenched on Monte Pilur and threatened to encircle them.
