Griechenland 19411944

Investigations into the occupation of Greece by the Germans and its relevance to international law.

Whereas names such as Lidice, Oradour-sur-Glane and Babi Jar are well known as places where atrocities were perpetrated on the civilian population by Germans, the mass executions carried out in Greece by the Wehrmacht and SS troops are today still nearly unknown. The same may be said of the exact circumstances surrounding the occupation of Greece. The German occupation authorities followed the order to repress Greece with all political, economic and legal means available.In this study the author sets the occupation against the background of international law and existing legal policy. He shows, for example, how after 1945 the political and legal entities tended to draw a line under accounts concerning the atrocities of the occupiers. The author also looks at the civil suits filed by Greek civilians against the Federal Republic of Germany. The rejection of all claims by the German government remains a smoldering question with considerable explosive power even today.

Leseprobe
Whereas the names Lidice, Oradour-sur-Glane and Babi Jar have all gone down in history as places where Nazi atrocities took place, the mass executions by the Wehrmacht and the SS in Greece during World War II are unfamiliar to most. The same is true for the circumstances occurring during the occupation of Greece. The German occupation authorities followed their orders to rule over Greece without any consideration for the provisions of international law concerning political, economic, and legal rights. In this volume, Anestis Nessou studies the facts of the occupation from the perspective of international law. He considers, for example, how the political and judicial authorities strove to put an end to any attempts to come to terms with the past events. The author also describes in detail the civil actions of Greek victims against the Federal Republic of Germany. The fact that their claims have been denied by the German government right up to the present day is a still smoldering state of affairs with political ramifications.
