Well highly motivated soldiers and a good defensive line helped too. Armament wise the Greek army was outdated and bogging down the Italians was no small feat.
 
Barbarossa couldn't have been set further back as the spring snow melt left all the rivers flooded, preventing the kind of blitzkrieg tactics that would be critical for germany to have any chance against soviets.
But the end of June? I think it was delayed a month at least.
 
Brilliant plan.....launch the offensive late in the season when the Soviets least expected it: "We're safe for this year, it's way too late to start a major invasion now".
Well, especially by our ally...
 
Greece was an inside job.
 
Its pure genius, you need to shoot three silver bullets( minimum 8 cm calibre with a high muzzle velocity )into the heart of a Werkatze to kill it but the sneaky Nazi engineeers left the heart out of the construction.

Yes the hearts were planned to be placed in the armored chambers below Castle Wewelsburg. But then again interbranch rivalries killed the project as the Heer did not want to get the SS involved in their stuff. Said story, just like with the Fledermaus which did not went to full scale production due to Göring.
