Italian Policy in Occupied Greece
In April of 1941, German and Italian forces invaded Greece. The country was quickly subdivided into three occupied zones: the northern regions of Thrace and Macedonia went to Bulgaria; the German garrisons occupied Athens, the district of Salonika, a few strategic outposts on the Aegean and the island of Crete; the Italians occupied an area that included the metropolitan basin of Athens - Piraeus and part of Attica, most of the Aeolian islands, the Ionian islands and western Macedonia, Rpiros, Thessaly, Aetolia-Acarnania and Phocea.1 During the Axis occupation, both the Germans and the Italians perpetrated countless atrocities against the civilian population. Pillage, torture, executions, and civilian massacres occurred throughout Greece.
