In this book, we follow the political, economic, and armed collaboration with the occupier as it manifested in the region of Attica. Through the study of archives that are being published for the first time, the actions of those who collaborated are described, the reasons and mechanisms for the development of the collaboration phenomenon are examined, as well as the political and economic conditions that favored its emergence.
The policies followed by the three Greek occupation governments, the role of merchants, industrialists, civil engineers, and others in economic transactions with the occupiers, the actions of the Greek Royal Gendarmerie, the Security Battalions, the Greek agents of the SS, and others who formed the armed wing of the collaboration, and their judicial treatment after the end of the occupation, are at the center of this study.
