OCCUPATION OF GREECE 1941-1944 AND ATHENS WW2 LOCATIONS

OCCUPATION OF GREECE 1941-1944 AND ATHENS WW2 LOCATIONS​

I was fortunate to visit Greece and Athens in 2019 and have now finally finished research devoted to the WW2 locations in the capital. The history of the occupation of Athens can not be told without a deeper delve into the history of the Italian invasion of Albania, the Battle of Greece in 1941, the Holocaust of the Greek Jews, and the sufferings that the country went through between 1941 and 1944. In this detailed 10,000-word research, I invite you to focus on the generally underappreciated theatre of the Second World War and its people: fighting, resistance, occupation, and collaboration. In the second half of the article, I spoke in detail about the well-known locations, cemeteries, museums, and memorials in Athens, with both archival photos and then/now comparison.

I would sincerely appreciate your activity on the article: feedback, questions, and corrections.

Battle of Athens and German occupation of Greece 1941-1944

 

I read this same post on AHF.

Your article covers a lot of ground and I would dispute many statements, but nothing outrageously incorrect jumped out at me except....

The picture caption "British paratroopers landing at an airfield near Athens during the Battle of Greece" might be true for Operation Manna in 1945 but certainly not true for Greece in 1941.
