GREECE IN WW II - GOVERNMENT UNDER OCCUPATION
General Georgios Tsolakoglou, in command of the Western Macedonian Army, had negotiated an unauthorized armistice. He subsequently became prime minister of a collaborationist government, to be succeeded by Konstantinos Logothetopoulos and Ioannis Rallis.
The Italians were the principal occupying power, until the Italian armistice in September 1943, but the Germans controlled key areas that were important from an economic point of view, while
the Bulgarians were permitted to occupy most of Western Thrace and part of Macedonia. <see map of Greece>
