In autumn, the situation is stabilized :

Hitler began to plan the real attack to the east ('Operation Barbarossa ")

Mussolini looking for a war just for himself, in October attacks Greece (a disaster: underestimation of Greece; distioglie resources from the northern front Africa; risk of humiliating defeat)
