Germany also applied collective punishment elsewhere . In the summer of 1941 , Nazi troops executed several hundred people in Kondomari , Alikianos , Kandanos and elsewhere in retaliation for the participation of Cretan civilians in the Battle of Crete . During its occupation by the Axis from 1941 to 1944 , Greece suffered a remarkably high death toll due to reprisals against the support and involvement of the population in the Resistance . Large-scale massacres were carried out in places such as Domeniko , Kommeno , Viannos , Lyngiades , Kali Sykia , Drakeia , Kalavryta , Mesovouno , Damasta , Distomo , Kedros , Chortiatis and many others . Entire villages ( e.g. Anogeia , Vorizia , Magarikari , Kamares , Lochria ) , were also pillaged and burnt
