Operation Marita. This is the name Germany gave its plan to invade
Greece in April 1941. In fact, Germany stepped in after Italy’s failed
invasion kicked off the preceding October. Greece had repelled that initial invasion and had even counterattacked by March 1941.
Consequently, on 6 April, 680,000 German troops with 1,200 tanks and 700
aircraft launched their invasion of Greece from Bulgarian territory,
bypassing the bulk of Greek troops near the Albanian border. The Metaxas
defensive line was overrun, and small numbers of Australian, British and
New Zealand troops could not stem the flow. By the end of the month, the
Greek mainland was in German hands, and then German troops also landed
on and captured Crete in May 1941. Of interest, next year will mark the
80th anniversary of Operation Marita, so Dragon has brought together a
number of 1/35 scale figure sets that feature participants in that decisive campaign.
This Dragon assortment features no fewer than six 1/35 scale figure sets
depicting the Greek invasion, a campaign that has not received the
publicity or attention that it perhaps deserves. All the figure sets
represent German troops, including paratroopers, mountain troops, combat
engineers and elite infantrymen. These realistic-looking figure sets
depict different units, various uniforms and a range of weapons, giving
lots of flexibility for model-makers to create a diorama. Few eyewitnesses of that military campaign in Greece remain alive, but
modelers can recreate it through this prized figure collection.
