History

19th Century

1920s

From the 1920s to the early 1950s, the arms manufacturer Prodromos Bodosakis-Athanasiadis had the leadership of the country in his pocket.[citation needed]

WW2

Greece was invaded by Germany in 1941. In that year an assessment by the Director of National Intelligence[Who?][citation needed] termed Prodromos Bodosakis-Athanasiadis a "thoroughly disreputable character, by some considered the most dangerous of all the Greeks". The OSS recruited him in 1942.

In 1944, Operation Gladio was set up Greece. The Greek Stay Behind was known as 'Red Sheep' (Κόκκινη Προβιά), and later installed a military dictatorship in the 1960s.

The coup leaders gained control of the Athens by placing tanks in strategic positions around the city. At the same time, a large number of small mobile units were dispatched to arrest leading politicians, authority figures, and ordinary citizens suspected of left-wing sympathies, according to lists prepared in advance.

1970s

CIA whistleblower Philip Agee wrote in his 1987 memoirs:

Although I didn't understand very much, but it seemed the Agency's hands were into everything in that country. And apparently it hadn't changed very much, because a recent mission directory showed an enormous CIA contingent for a nation the size of Greece[1]
