Battle of Pogradec

The Battle of Pogradec was a military engagement between Hellenic and Italian forces during the Greco-Italian War, with preliminary assaults on Italian forces beginning on 27 November 1940,^[1][2][3] however, the city of Pogradec itself was only attacked directly by Greek forces on 29 November,^[4][5] with units of the Greek Third Army Corps (Part of the Western Macedonia Army Section) launching their attack on 27,^[1][6][2] this attack was itself preceded by attacks in the general area beginning on 25,^[7][8] sometimes the 24 is also included, citing it as being the start of relevant movements in anticipation of their upcoming preliminary attack outside Pogradec.^[9][10][11] The battle resulted in a Greek victory, the engagement ending by December 6^[7] on Pogradec's periphery, the city itself having fallen on 30 November,^[12][4] when Greek troops entered the city.^[1] Other sources list December 1 as the date of the city's fall proper.^[13][14][a]

Notes.

1. Possibly when the takeover took effect, possible that discrepancy is due to nighttime attack, i.e., attack at 11:00, victory by 12:00, thus at another day.
