13 APRIL 1941
The Commonwealth move to defend Greece offered slim chances of a victory. Treaties, cultural ties and strategic benefits of causing the Germans time and losses would help in the strategic defense of Egypt and the Middle East. Here is where the Commonwealth soldiers prove to the Germans their remarkable fighting skills against a technologically and numerically superior enemy. Here the forward elements of 9.Panzer Division launches a single armed pincer towards Kozani Pass. As the British and New Zealanders fought hard to hold the line, most actions centered around prepared rearguard positions. Many times these positions would prove too tough for quick frontal assault, as was the case at the Proastion position on the western flank. The Germans, rather than wait for their artillery to catch up with their advance, moved ahead off the main road and threatened the British 1.Armored Brigade Headquarters at Komanos, by way of the Kozani Pass.
