In the Balkans... The resistance of the Greek forces in the Metaxas Line collapses. Thessaloniki is taken by the 2nd Panzer Division. The Greek 2nd Army, the force defending the Metaxas Line, surrenders. Other German units have taken Monastir in Yugoslavia and are moving south through the Monastir Gap. It will not be possible to hold a strong attack here, although General Wilson (commanding British and Anzac forces in Greece) has strengthened the defending force and it will, therefore, be necessary to withdraw from some of the Aliakmon positions. This possibility is discussed with Greek Commander in Chief, General Papagos, and he concurs. Meanwhile, farther north, the German 2nd Army (commanded by Weichs) joins the attack on Yugoslavia. Two corps move south over the Austrian border, quickly taking Maribor. The third corps, 46th Panzer Corps, is based in Hungary and begins to seize crossings over the Drava River. The two corps from Kleist's force which began the attack on Yugoslavia have now moved through the southern part of the country and into Greece.
