Nazi's Invade Greece and Yugoslavia

The very stupid attempt by Italian forces to Invade and control Greece has caused the Germans to delay Barbarossa in order to complete the invasion of Greece and to deal with the Yugoslavia issue to prevent the allies from gaining a foot hold to their flank in the Barbarossa plan.
The few weeks delay will have very dramitic effects on the German Army as they approach Moscow and are defeated by the coming winter weather, ironically the same situation effected Napolians army.
