Best Answer

Yes, they were. Greece was brought into the war from the very beginning,1940, and was occupied by the Germans till the very end in 1945. It was the Italians that brought Greece into the war by attacking them, thinking they were an easy target, but they were proved wrong. With about 800 fighting Greeks and 1,600 Italian soldiers, the Greeks humiliated them by pushing the Italians back past the Albanian border.

Embarrassed, Hitler and the Nazis invaded Greece. There was a battle in Crete, Greece against the Nazi invasion that changed the way generals look at invading a country. They didn't have guns, but the Cretans fought with knives, sticks, stones, and strong patriotism, and won that battle.
