Unfortunately, the same was true of most of the Greek Resistance fighters. Once the war was over, they turned on their own people. The movie "Eleni", with John Malkovich and Kate Nelligan is a good depiction of what happened in Northern Greece after the war.

Quite true. My dad was one of the American JAG who helped supervise the Greek elections right after the war.

A task made difficult by Communists shooting at him, his sergeant, his interpreter and their four mules (one for the ballot boxes!) But he said the really tough part was having to eat those !@#$)((^%* sheeps' eyeballs!

It's o.k., he says it was worth it.

Very true, the Brits had to send thousands of troops to protect Greek freedom from their own people. They can thank Churchill for that.
