RE: Early war engineers
For giggle purposes only, this is what Denis Mack Smith had to say about the Albanians when Italy invaded: "Ciano's chief assistant, Filippo Anfuso, after describing how the foreign minister flew briefly over the battleground with other ministry officials to qualify for his campaign medal, commented that 'if only the Albanians had possessed a well-armed fire brigade, they could have driven us back into the Adriatic.'" "Mussolini's Roman Empire" p. 153. That's apparently where I got the idea the fighting wasn't that intense. Smith devotes ten pages to the invasion of Albania and never mentions the resistance that followed. In fairness to Smith, his focus wasn't the military aspect.
