Operation Marita and the Eastern Front

[Lysimachus]

People sometimes say that Operation Barbarossa failed because the Germans invaded too late for them to conclude the campaign before the poor weather set in, but if the Pro-Nazi Yugoslav government hadn't fallen to a coup and had joined the Axis, would the extra weeks gained without a Balkan campaign have made much of a difference?

No difference since Nazi would still waste a whole month to chase Kiev and still unable to destroy Red Army.

Nazi Germany might still have very well intervened in Greece as the Italians were still doing a piss-poor job over there.
