The British contribution was minimal and was doomed from the very start. There was a New Zealand and an Australian division each and only a British brigade. No armour as the terrain was 'unsuitable' for armour. Yet the Germans under Balck proved them wrong. If I recall, there was only 7 Greek divisions facing the Germans whereas there were 21 embroiled with the Italians. I have to check my source again.

At the time, it seemed like Great Britain was attempting to defend everything with resources it could not afford to spare.
