Storm Troopers to “purge” Greece, Say Its Officers

April 20, 1933
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

The Greek national storm troops, formed by Greek anti-Venizelist reserved officers and non-commissioned officers, has just issued a communique saying that the object of the troops is to purge the country in the same ways as the Fascist troops of Mussolini and the storm troops of Hitler have purged Italy and Germany and relieved them of their distress.

Several Greek papers, both Venizelist and anti-Venizelist, continue to praise the work of Hitler, as if they wished to set it up as a model for Greece, publishing every day articles or “Letters from Germany,” and reproducing the views of the “Voelkischer Beobachter.”
