A military dictatorship was followed by invasion and terrifying occupation by Germany and its allies, starvation, civil war, political unrest and mutiny in its free military armed forces. New Zealand entered this arena and found a bond with a people that it still celebrates to this day. Absent is the complex, divisive and sometimes violent and surreal relationship between the two countries and the inescapable influence of Britain. Their story stretches from the mountains and open country of Greece and Crete to Middle East deserts, autumn-swept plains of Italy, and the blood-splattered streets of post-liberated Athens. Ironically New Zealand has forgotten the unpalatable but also sacrificed something that would have enhanced its own national storytelling about the war. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zGreece 607 $aGreece$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreece$xForeign relations$zNew Zealand 607 $aNew Zealand$xForeign relations$zGreece 607 $aGreece$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zGreece 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a940.5409495 700 $aBrown$b Martyn$g(Martyn David),$0282172 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910823872003321 996 $aPolitics of forgetting$93993853 997 $aUNINA
