13 The ultimate effect of the Communists’ public appeal, however, was to swing the Bulgarian government further from the course de­ sired by the Soviet Union. ”15 T h e Ita lia n I n v a s io n o f G r e e c e Another reason for Bulgaria’s reluctance to commit itself openly to the Axis was the Italian debacle in Greece. Before the Italian inva­ sion on October 28, 1940, Mussolini had realized that his attack would be considerably facilitated if Greece were simultaneously at­ tacked by Bulgaria.

64 The Ger­ mans favored such an arrangement because it would safeguard their flank in the event they went to the aid of the Italians in Greece—as they were to do in Operation Marita in March 1941. But the Turk­ ish Minister to Sofia, Ali Berker, indicated that the entry of German troops into Bulgaria might itself be a c a u s u s b e lli. ”59 Tur­ key therefore proposed an agreement based on the 1925 BulgarianTurkish friendship treaty, subject to the reservation that previous commitments by the two countries would not be affected.

The Bulgarian government, noting the decline in Italian pres­ tige, hesitated to ally itself with a coalition containing such an inept partner. ”19As the military situation deteriorated, Mussolini sought help from Hitler. The contempt with which these requests were first received was described later by General Jodi: “Italy was beaten, as usual, and sent the Chief of the Operations Staff of the Supreme Command to me, crying for help. ”20 For a while the Germans were content to let the Italians suffer the consequences of their folly and their rudeness in not informing Hitler in advance of their invasion plans,* but Germany could not permit Italy to be defeated, nor could British intervention in Greece go un­ challenged.
