Title: The Greek American Operational Groups
Description: Washington, American Hellenic Institute. 0. Video Box. Book, VIDEO The U.S.s first experiment with clandestine commando warfare took place in World War II. Under a secret OSS plan, small groups of specially trained U.S. Army infantrymen of various ethnic backgrounds were infiltrated into occupied Europe to assist local partisan groups in resisting the Nazis. Among these secret ""Operational Groups" were Greek Americans, whose mission was to make the German withdrawal from Greece in 1944 as costly as possible. They succeeded far beyond expectations, but the records of their secret service were sealed for forty years, and their story is largely unknown. This short video brings their bravery to light in anticipation of a full-length documentary. New from Publisher.
