Leibstandarte SS ‘Adolf Hitler’ had participated in the Blitzkrieg of both Poland and France and was expanded from a regiment-sized unit to a strong brigade just before the invasion.
The SS troops slowly pushed though the Mackay Force and soon the Germans were across the border.
After the Klidi Pass, the British and Greeks fell back to Mount Olympus. As the Allies withdrew, Leibstandarteexploited an opening in the lines and cut off the Greek Eprius Army facing the Italians. A sharp fight erupted at the Kastoria Pass where the Greeks attempted to open up an escape route. The highly mobile SS troops quickly surrounded the Greeks. On 20 April General Georgios Tsolakoglou surrendered the Eprius Army to the SS.

The SS Infanterie Platoon can be used in Early-war with Burning Empires and in Mid-war with Eastern Front.
The infantry platoons of the SS use trucks to keep place with the advancing panzers. The tanks are the tip of the spear, but the infantry are the ones who make the gaps to exploit and follow up to secure the ground.
