Γεώργιος Γρίβας Διγενής Georgios Grivas Digenis

With the beginning of World War II Grivas was transferred to the operations department of the central headquarters of the Greek army, working on the northern Greece's strategic defense plans. Three months after the Mussolini attack on Greece, Georgios Grivas was transferred to the Albanian front as chief of staff of the 2nd Division where he arrived in December 1940.During the German-Italian-Bulgarian occupation of Greece in World War II he founded and led the Organisation X, a minor resistance organisation made up of officers of the Greek army whose influence was limited in certain neighbourhoods of Athens.During the events of December 1944, members of Organisation X They fought to resist the attempts of the EAM/ELAS fighters to bring Athens under their control.
Thereafter Grivas focussed on the idea of liberating Cyprus from British colonial rule and the aim of Union with Greece (Enosis). As a member of the secret Committee for the Cyprus Struggle he took the oath of Enosis together with the newly elected Archbishop Makarios III, with whom he collaborated for preparing the armed struggle. He arrived secretly in Cyprus in November 1954 and began immediately the formation of his guerrilla organization EOKA. On April 1, 1955 with a declaration that he signed as DIGENIS and a number of explosions in the four major cities and military installations, he announced the beginning of his campaign for Union with Greece.
He returned to Cyprus in 1964 after the outbreak of intercommunal violence between Turkish and Greek to take over the Supreme Command of the Greek Cypriot forces organised under the National Guard as well as the Greek military division sent to Cyprus by the government of George Papandreou to assist in the island's defence against a possible Turkish attack.
He died of heart failure at the age of 75 on January 27, 1974 while in hiding in a house in the city of Limassol. Grivas' funeral and burial was held on January 29, 1974, in the garden of the house that had been Grivas' last hideout during the EOKA struggle (1955-1959) and attended by tens of thousands of Greek Cypriots. Upon his death, the Cypriot Government declared a three-day official mourning and three days later, the Cypriot Parliament declared General Grivas "a worthy son of the motherland"

@xaniotakis Έχουμε τελειώσει εδώ και 37 χρόνια. Δεν αγωνιζόμαστε όπως μπορούμε τέλος πάντων για κερδίσουμε κάτι. Αλλά για..."την τιμή των όπλων που λέμε". Αρκεί φεύγοντας να κάνουμε όσο περισσότερο κακό μπορούμε στους άλλους. -
