But nobody will point the finger to the communist bandits who originally challenged the Germans by violating the Geneva and the Hague conventions and then hid amongst the populace, thus eliciting their retaliation regardless of the lives they knew it would cost.

communist bandits

Since you hate EAM, do you also hate EDES, or is it just the left-wing resistance you take offence to?

violating the Geneva and the Hague conventions

The Germans had already whipped their asses with the Geneva Conventions repeatedly in Poland, Yugoslavia and elsewhere. They looted Athens when they entered it, seized our gold reserves and starved up to 1/10 of the population to death, while massacring thousands of Greek Jews. I think the Resistance had a pretty good reason to want to "provoke" the Krauts.

By the way, the violation of the Rules of War by one party does not justify a response in kind by another party.

You mean the ones that were massacred by said bandits under orders from Stalin?

How does one not negate the other? So you're telling us that they perpetrated the exact same crimes as the Nazis, but were justified in it because they weren't Nazis. That's some bigoted logic right there.

But what takes the cake is that the same people murdered and pillaged against an undefended populace, abducted and indoctrinated children (often carrying them outside the country, against their family's wishes) and wantonly murdered their political rivals all throughout the war and long after it, plunging Greece into an bloody civil war, just so Stalin could get his rocks off and exact his revenge on Greece for having participated in the White Army's campaign. After all, Greece was always going to fall under NATO control and they knew it.

As for the Jewish holocaust, that story got out long after the war. Not that communists would ever fight for the Jews whom they viewed as the utmost of lumpen proletariat and would have happily killed them if the Nazis hadn't beat them to it.
