Extract from the programme of EAM (1941-1945):
"The purpose of the National Liberation Front is:a) The liberation of our nation from its current foreign yoke
and the acquisition of full independence of our country ... "
But when EAM talks about full independence means independence from any foreign power or by the German
occupants or their "allies" the English, which displeases the second.
![Page 4: CREEK COMENIUS PRESENTATION IN GREECE, HANIA](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815749550346895dc4ed58/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The English policy seeks the stifling control of the situation in Greece after the war. For this purpose, equips and
supports financially groups friendly to English: EDES in central Greece and the EOK in Crete
The aim of English policy is to limit the power of EAM-ELAS, as - after the successive victories against the
invaders - these organizations have gained strong popular support.

Already by the middle of 1943, at the instigation of the British, in central Greece have started civil conflict between anglophile groups (EDES) and the forces of the People's
Army (ELAS).

And what about the Agreement of the Therisso-Tromarissas in Chania?
Was it a success, as marked, or failure of foresight on the part of EAM-ELAS, for the actual role of the British and their friends (EOK);
After the agreement, is typical the requirement which some executives of EOK (K. Mitsotakis) made: ELAS not to attack German forces, but only
after approval by the Joint Committee on Administration of EOK and EAM!!

Oath of Greek Battalions cooperating with the occupants:
"I swear to God, this holy oath that I will absolutely obey the orders of the Supreme Chief of the German Army Adolf Hitler ... I know well that for an objection against my
obligations, which hereby undertake, I want to be punished according to the German
military laws "

HOWEVERThe English policy does not wish the enforcement of the
Greek resistance. So they have no choice but to take actions to sabotage the Germans with a few rebel forces. One of
these actions was the kidnapping in April 1944 from Archanes of the German Commander of Crete, General Kraipe and his
transfer to Cairo.
General Kraipe

The organizations EAM and ELAS disagreed strongly with the task of kidnapping, and appreciated that the retaliation
will be hard .
