NO because the dates don't match up.
Germany had to support Italy when it was defeated by Greece. Valuable time lost for the Nazis.
Then on April 6, 1941, German troops invaded Greece through Bulgaria in order to establish a bulkhead on its southern flank. Again the Greeks withstood the Wehrmacht...again delaying and frustrating Hitler's plans.
There's more. Later in Crete with operation Mercury the Greek resistance dealt incredible casualties on the marauding Germans never letting up on the invaders. It was the first time the Germans met with incredible civilian resistance.

I know this is a stretch, but thought it was worth a try to ask on this forum...
Does anyone know where I can find a poster from WWII by E. McKnight Kauffer entitled, Greece Fights On?
Many many thanks.

Thank you! The last link is great, but the posters are re-prints. I know it is a stretch, but if I can get an original, that would be preferable.

I think it’s going to be very hard to get an original Kauffer poster of WWII. Have you tried Ebay or another auction house like Christie’s ???
