Allied Balkan operations seen as limited and shifting roles
The author argues Allied command shifts in Greece and Albania reflect a limited Balkan role. Greek partisan groups Elas and Edes are consolidating under Allied oversight, with Elas claiming 21,000 men. SNOF in Bulgaria may push to clear Bulgarian troops from Yugoslavia, while main offensives remain in the west and from Poland. A southeastern theater is emerging as potentially decisive.
