October 28, 1940, Talyaanigu wuxuu weeraray Giriigga
Jaaliyada Dodecanese ee Athens waxay u arkeen fursada ugu wanaagsan ee lagu xorayn karo Jasiiradaha Dodecanese. Waxaa hogaaminayay ururka Dodecanesian Youth, bulshadu waxay abaabushay isu soo baxyo cajiib ah Athens isla mar ahaantaana waxay ku cadaadisay Dowladda Giriiga inay u oggolaato mutadawiciinta Dodecanesian ee haysta dhalashada Talyaaniga inay ku biiraan Ciidanka Hellenic. Codsiga waa la aqbalay, waxaana 13kii Nofeembar 1940 madaxtooyada guud ay soo saartay amar ah in la sameeyo "Dodecanese Regiment". Sababta dhabta ah ee amarkan ayaa ahayd in Jabhadda Albania ay nuugtay dhammaan kaydkii, GHQ-na ay aad ugu baahnayd ciidamo dheeri ah oo ka hortagaya duulaankii Jarmalka ee ka iman lahaa xadka Bulgaria.
