German Armed Forces  - Collaborators

Picture

Greece

After the German invasion a Nazi-held government was put in place. All three quisling prime ministers, (Georgios Tsolakoglou, Konstantinos Logothetopoulos and Ioannis Rallis), cooperated with the Axis authorities. 

Although their administrations did not directly assist the occupation forces, they did instigate suppressive measures. They encouraged the creation of armed "anti-communist" and "anti-gangster" paramilitary organisations such as the Security Battalions and others. 

The Greek National Socialist Party, or openly anti-semitic organisations, like the National Union of Greece, helped German authorities fight the Resistance, and identify and deport Greek Jews.

Greeks from Greece and from the Soviet Union joined the Waffen-SS, mostly in Ukrainian divisions.

Cham Albanian collaboration.
During the Axis occupation, a number of Cham Albanians set up their own administration and militia in Thesprotia, Greece, subservient to the fascist Balli Kombetar organization, and actively collaborated first with the Italian and, subsequently, the German occupation forces. They committed a number of atrocities.
