First Zeppelin Raid on Salonika

December 30 1915, Salonika–With the defeat of Serbia, the British and French forces that had attempted to help them had mostly withdrawn back to Salonika and entrenched themselves around the city.  The Germans were unwilling to commit any resources to defeating them, and had moved most of their troops in the Balkans back to the Western Front.  Besides, a land attack on Salonika came with the possibility of forcing Greece into the Allied camp, further stretching German resources.  Nevertheless, such a large Allied force could not go entirely unharassed, and on December 30 a German Zeppelin attacked the Allies there.  The attack only inflicted minor damage and casualties, but one of these was a Greek shepherd.  Greece, however, did not protest to Berlin at the killing of one of its own civilians on its own soil.  On the same day, General Sarrail, commanding the forces at Salonika, arrested and exported the consular staff of the Central Powers in the (officially neutral) city.  This added violation of Greek neutrality brought only limited additional protest.
