No wonder why the German army was beaten that time, but then again their Blitzkrieg (can't help thinking of the Ramones everytime I type this word) attack did work with Greece.

Khm... it were not the Germans who attacked Greece... If you concentrate, you'll remember how your teacher told you that those were the Italian forces and, I must admit, that the theater of Africa did not interest me that much at the time i was reading all those WWII books, so i you can consider this being my weak spot
And btw, the word "blitzkrieg" makes me remember a song as well... this song, actually:

But, the whole main Devil damned point of the Blitzkrieg was the fact that Nazi's could not maintain a long-time warfare... so it is normal that they they were putting all their hopes in-to Africa and the middle-east... but, they forgot (or they did not knew) the old saying about putting all of your eggs in-to one basket... Too much Bavarian beer, i guess
