It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/26/opinions/oxi-day-the-true-story-of-how-greece-helped-defeat-the-nazis-cosmos/index.html

I'm definitely not a bot.

You mean "spend 5 years fighting Germans, and when they're finally gone the British release the collaborators so they can kill you together"?

What a weird thing to single out Greece during this period when there's dozens of countries who resisted fascist occupation. From Norway to Poland, the Soviet lands, Yugoslavia and the Fatherland front in Bulgaria.
