Τα γεγονοτα ομως εχουν μια σειρα και αυτη εχει σημασια,οπως σημασια εχει το τι γραφοταν στην οδηγια νο20 στις 13/12/1940...
"1. The result of ,the battles in Albania is not yet decisive. Because of a dangerous situation in Albania, it is doubly necessary that the British endeavour be foiled to create air bases under the protection of a Balkan front, which would be dangerous above all to Italy as to the Roumanian oilfields.
2. My plan therefore is (a) to form a slowly increasing task force in Southern Roumania within the next month, (b) after the setting in of favourable weather, probably in March, to send a task force for the occupation of the Aegean north coast by way of Bulgaria and if necessary to occupy the entire Greek mainland."
On the 20th January, 1941, at a meeting between Hitler and Mussolini, at which the defendants Ribbentrop, Keitel, Jodl and others were present, Hitler stated:
"The massing of troops in Roumania serves a threefold purpose.
(a) An operation against Greece;
(b) Protection of Bulgaria against Russia and Turkey;
(c) Safeguarding the guarantee to Roumania....
It is desirable that this deployment be completed without interference from the enemy. Therefore, disclose the game as late as possible. The tendency will be to cross the Danube at the last possible moment, and to line up for attack at the earliest possible moment."
Οπως βλεπεις τραβατρομπακο ο ιδιος ο Αδολφος ειπε"disclose the game as late as possible"...Μυστικη διπλωματια κι αρχιδια δηλαδη...
