Abstract

[Mario Roatta took command of the Second Army on January 19, 1942. He had been chosen, according to his underling Colonel Zanussi, because he had just produced a long report for Ugo Cavallero on the Balkan situation, and was thus accredited as an expert on the subject. The general chief of staff had wasted no time in defenestrating him from the post of army chief of staff, where he represented a dangerous rival, and putting him in a difficult situation. Cavallero, however, according to Zanussi, considered Roatta to be the right man to unsnarl the intricate Balkan tangle and defeat the rebellion.1]
