Historical Background:
Italy launched the Greco-Italian War on October 28th, 1940 when they invaded Greece from Albania. After the Italian attack stalled, the Greek Army launched a massive counter-offensive in November and drove the Italian army back, capturing a significant amount of Albanian territory.
The 3rd Greek Infantry Division advanced toward the city of Himara on the Adriatic coast. The 3/40 Evzone regiment positioned themselves near the village of Pilur in Albania and at dawn on December 19th they made a bayonet charge on the Italian troops entrenched on Monte Pilur. After heavy fighting they succeeded in destroying the mountain battery. Then on the 22nd of December, Greek soldiers captured the Kuç pass which gave them access to the Shushicë valley. To avoid the impending encirclement, Italian troops were forced to abandon the city of Himara.
