-*-APRIL 1941-*-

The Greece invaded by German and Italian Forces

Greece experienced the "Great Famine" during the time the country was occupied by Nazi Germany starting April 1941,

as well as a sea blockade by the Royal Navy at the same time.

The famine is reported to have caused the death of 70,000 people according to the official,

Nazi-controlled, Greek sources of the period and over 300,000 according to the historian Mark Mazower.

These days in the Aegean islands, fishing was banned by the Germans.

And Greeks in islands were came from their homes to west Anatolian coast for find a food and medical support.

++++++++++++

The National Greek War Relief Association, an organization formed in October 1940 by the Greek Orthodox Church,

started to raise funds in the United States and to organize relief efforts to supply the population with food and medicine.

The British were initially reluctant to lift the blockade since it was the only form of pressure they had on the Axis Powers.

However, a compromise was reached to allow shipments of grain to come from the neutral Turkey, despite the fact that it was within the blockade zone.

++++++++++++

Those days was famine in Turkey.Because men were called to the army of national Mobilization, and agricultural sector was stopped.

Even so The Turkish president İsmet İnönü signed a decision to help the people whose army he had personally fought during the Turkish War of Independence 19 years previous.

The people of Turkey thus became the first to lend a helping hand to Greece.

Foodstuffs were collected by a nationwide campaign of Kızılay (Turkish Red Crescent), and were sent to the port of Istanbul to be shipped to Greece.

SS Kurtuluş was prepared for her voyage with big symbols of the Red Crescent painted on both sides.

++++++++++++

After having received permission from London to cross the blockade zone, the ship left Karaköy Pier on 6 October 1941 for the first time.

Upon landing in Piraeus, the port city near Athens, the International Red Cross took charge of unloading and of distributing the foodstuffs.

In the following months, SS Kurtuluş made three more voyages to Greece delivering a total of 6,735 tons of food aid

++++++++++++

During her fifth voyage, after having left Istanbul on 18 February, the old ship was caught in heavy weather and rough seas in the Sea of Marmara.

During the night of 20 February 1942, SS Kurtuluş was blown onto rocks off the coast near Saraylar village, north of Marmara Island.

She sank the next morning at 9:15. All 34 crew members reached Marmara Island. The place was later named Cape Kurtuluş in her memory.

++++++++++++

Despite the loss of SS Kurtuluş, Turkey maintained her determination to help, and continued sending aid until 1946 with other ships like SS Dumlupınar, SS Tunç, SS Konya, SS Güneysu and SS Aksu.

One ship, the SS Dumlupınar brought around 1,000 sick Greek children aged 13-16 to İstanbul to recuperate in a safe place.

@Rhomios

You refuse to kill innocent people ?? What the fuck? The pogroms in Istanbul, albeit contemptible, had their reasons actually in the ongoings on Cyprus, when Turks where systematically harassed. Rings the bell? The wrong news that Ataturks house was bombed was intended to draw attention to that and was somehow the last straw.
