TFA blurb review

[edit]

The 4th Army was a Royal Yugoslav Army formation mobilised prior to the German-led invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during World War II. It initially consisted of three divisions, a brigade-strength detachment, one horse cavalry regiment and one independent infantry regiment. It was responsible for defending a large section of the Yugoslav–Hungarian border, being deployed behind the Drava river between Varaždin and Slatina. Like all Yugoslav formations at the time, the 4th Army had serious deficiencies in both mobility and firepower, and it was only partially mobilised when the invasion began on 6 April 1941. The 4th Army put up scattered resistance to the Germans, but began to withdraw southwards on 9 April, and on 10 April it ceased to exist as an operational formation. The remains of the 4th Army were ordered to stop fighting on 15 April, and the Yugoslav Supreme Command surrendered unconditionally effective on 18 April. (Full article...)

See WT:TFA#Fourth quarter 2018 blurbs. This is just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 19:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would much rather this ran on 6 April next year, anniversary of the commencement of the invasion. We've done that in the past with 7th Army. I'll look at the blurb itself shortly. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:27, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's on TFAP for April ... that almost always works. - Dank (push to talk) 12:23, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
