 Fascist organizations supported by the Germans were the National Union of Greece ("Ethniki Enosis Ellados", EEE), the EKK ("Ethnikon Kyriarchon Kratos"), the Greek National Socialist Party ("Elliniko Ethnikososialistiko Komma", EEK) led by George S. Mercouris, and other minor pro-Nazi, fascist or anti-Semitic organizations such as the Hellenic Socialist Patriotic Organization (ESPO) or the "Iron Peace" ("Sidira Eirini").Cooperation of civil servants with the resistance, in particular the EAM, occurred even before a widescale resistance movement unfolded.For the purposes of civil administration before the invasion, Greece was divided into 37 prefectures.
