Just finished reading 'Forced Displacement and the Weaponisation of Humanitarian Aid during the Greek Civil War, 1947-50' by @panoskaragkounis.bsky.social. A really well researched and thought provoking piece, offering new insights into the Greek Civil War.

Recently, I unearthed this wonderful photograph @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives. It shows the League for Democracy in Greece, which was established in Britain, in the 1940s, to protest the Nazi occupation of Greece #transnational #history #Greece #Britain
