Talk:Battle of Pindus

Wiped out?
The claim that the "Julia" Division was "wiped out" in this battle seems rather exaggerated. It was defeated, repelled and suffered heavy losses, but the "Julia" was still fighting during the rest of the Greco-Italian War; for instance, in the Capture of Klisura Pass in January 1941. This is not very consistent with a Division that was supposedly "wiped out" the month before. Mario Cervi, in his Storia della guerra di Grecia, page 139, writes that the "Julia" withdrew to Koritsa after losing about one-fifth of its troops. Which seems consistent with the previously reported (in this article) number of 1,674 troops lost by the "Julia" Division in this battle, now replaced with 5,000 casualties. I would say that 5,000 casualties (if correct) may be the total Italian losses in this battle, i.e. not only those from the "Julia" Division but also from other units (such as the 47th Infantry Division "Bari"). --2.36.88.48 (talk) 09:45, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
