Greece's King George Faces Armistice or Retreat Decision
King George of Greece weighs options as German pressure grows to end hostilities. He could seek an armistice and move forces to Egypt or continue fighting from a shortened front in northern Greece toward the Peloponnese. If retreat is chosen, securing relief for allied forces from Egypt becomes critical while protecting a potential Greek rearguard. A shortened front north of Athens could allow ships to transport troops, but would strain supply lines and defense depth.
