...place to the Dardanelles and the Black Sea. Rocky Greek islands straggle across the Aegean to the shores of Turkey. The Peloponnesian Peninsula lies close to Italy; Crete, halfway to Africa. In this war Greece's fate was settled at Brennero on Oct. 4, when Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini planned their drive to the east. For Greece is the key to control of two of the three routes to the east : by land and sea through Turkey, by sea via the Mediterranean. Even the third route is controlled in part by Greece : the capture of Crete would help...
...train went on. Four days later it pulled to a stop in a town where the Renaissance settled permanently, Florence. The Führer drove to the medieval Palazzo Vecchio, and under a portrait of Machiavelli, who once worked in the room, he and Benito Mussolini and Foreign Minister Count Ciano spread out their papers.

Mussolini's Problem. With Hitler already in a political and military position to dominate the plain of Hungary and Stalin in possession of the Ukraine, Benito Mussolini can hardly pretend to be one of the big three dictators unless he controls at least a part of Europe's granary. Furthermore, Italy has not adequate food supplies at home and has for years depended on maize from Hungary to help feed her people...
