“I read about the German occupation of Greece in WWII and brutal would not begin to describe it.”

I have as well. No doubt about it, the Germans were brutal toward the Greece, primarily because Greece was the only country in Europe that did not capitulate to the Germans. The Germans would go into a Greek village demanding names and locations of Greek partisans. When, the Greeks refused to talk the Germans would line up the whole village and execute them. No question that the Greeks were fierce fighters and were very patriotic. But, I’m thinking, maybe it’s time to let it go. Heck, they’re still pissed at the Persians and the Ottoman Empire. I’ll say one thing for Greeks, they know how to hold a grudge :)

France had a resistance movement. I don't recall Germans doing anything similar in France.
