On today's episode, we'll take a look at a day that probably felt like (for many at that time) like it would never arrive: the Nazi withdrawal of Greece. We talk about not just the pure joy that seized the country, but also the absolute devastation and economic woes that this tiny nation had to deal with, in addition to the societal and political fractures just waiting to crack open another round of civil war.
Enjoy!
