| ]Greek-Albanian Front
The Italian headquarters is forced to give the order to retire. As a result of disrupted communications the order does not reach all formations. The Julia division, or what is left of it, just succeeds in getting back over the Peratia bridge - not on the orders of the Italian command but on a decision taken by the divisional commander as a result of a report picked up on the radio from London, announcing that 'the Alpine division will be crushed by three Greek divisions'. The Italian 3rd Alpini Division is trapped in the area of the Pindus Gorges by the Greek counterattacks. The Greeks take over 5,000 prisoners.
