Hill 731 was the scene of the most ferocious battle of the Greek-Italian War in Albania. On 9 March 1941 the Italians launched their Spring Offensive, designed to stem four months of humiliating reverses. The Italian Eighth Corps had the task of seizing the heights, spearheaded by 38 (Puglie) Division. Holding the position was the Greek 1 Division of II Corps, with 4 and 6 Division on the flanks. For 17 days, after a massive artillery barrage (which reduced the hill's height by 6 metres), the Italians threw themselves with great courage against the Evzones on the hill, to be repeatedly smashed with appalling losses. The bloody debacle of Hill 731 could well have contributed to Hitler's decision to postpone his invasion of Russia by at least four weeks, a costly delay.
