Hey Everyone!

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 end: 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 now had to deal with, not to mention the societal and political fractures just waiting to crack open another round of civil war.

Enjoy!
