Greetings, everyone, right here.

Before we start with episode 69, there's just something I wanted to point out real quick

that I think will help make this episode make more sense and will be more enjoyable to

listen to.

The Matexus line, the Greek defensive line, was actually in two separate parts.

The line that was just under the Bulgarian border was called the IB line, as in the Italy

Bulgaria line, and that line was to stop in case both countries attacked at the same time.

The line to the west, where the main Italian attack comes to, was called the IB A line,

like a subset.

That was built after the first line that was in the east.

The one on the west had semi-permanent fixtures, and so the Greeks aren't going to have

as much trouble backing up when that gets breached.

So just keep in mind that it's all considered the Matexus line, but the one in the east that

really doesn't get challenged because Bulgaria doesn't come in is the IB line, and the one

in the west where the main action is at is called the IB A line.

There are both part of the same line, but I used the IB and the IB A, and as long as

you keep that in your head when you're listening, everything will make a lot more sense, and

you'll be able to enjoy it a lot more.

Thank you very much.
