I wonder how that would fare in court? The occupation brought about terrible hardships for the Greek civilian population. Over 40,000 civilians died in Athens alone from starvation, tens of thousands more died because of reprisals by Nazis and collaborators.

The Australians and New Zealanders from the far away Pacific were bonding with the Greeks in the Mediterranean. The willingness of the ordinary Greek people to hide commonwealth troops who had avoided capture or escaped from the Germans and Italians reinforced the friendship. Retired army general Sandy Thomas fought on Crete. He ended up as a prisoner of war and spent a year travelling through enemy controlled mainland Greece to escape. Before he died in the Australian country town of Beaudesert in 2017, he had this to say at a commemoration of the battle for Crete – “You knew at that time that to take in a Kiwi or an Aussie or one of the British you risked everything…you still opened your doors and your hearts to our chaps and we are bloody grateful.”

Την πρώτη χρονιά του δέχθηκε εκτός των άλλων και την επίσημη υποστήριξη της δημάρχου Αθηναίων Ντόρας Μπακογιάννη, όμως ο διάδοχός της Νικήτας Κακλαμάνης αρνήθηκε να το θέσει υπό την αιγίδα του.

[9] Έκτοτε, το φεστιβάλ και η πορεία υπερηφάνειας διοργανώνεται σταθερά στην Αθήνα κάθε χρόνο. We still have a long road ahead, but support in the general public has grown considerably," said Vlachogiannis, the Thessaloniki Pride organizer.

He could have surrendered and allowed the Axis forces to enter Greece in an easy and relatively bloodless occupation. France, which had been under German rule since June of that year, was a good example of such a relatively smooth occupation. Drawn up by the watchdog’s specialist body on racism and intolerance, ECRI, the report called for specific legislation to prohibit what it described as medically unnecessary sex “normalising” surgery and other non-therapeutic treatments “until such time as the intersex child is able to participate in the decision, based on the right to self-determination and on the principle of free and informed consent”.
