Spring 1942
German troops enter Belgrade



A dramatic right hook and overwhelming air power saw German armored divisions rapidly drive north from Bulgaria, cross the Danube and capture Belgrade. Despite what analysts consider to have been a good defense plan by the Yugoslavs, German resources were too strong, and they took control of Belgrade with very few losses to themselves.

The government fled to Dubrovnik, but it is expected that they will be unable to escape to form a government in exile.

A new interim government has been established in Belgrade by Germany.
