Georgios Poulos became one of the most controversial Greek collaborators of the Second World War. After the German invasion of Greece in 1941, he aligned himself with the occupation authorities and later formed the Poulos Verband, a collaborationist battalion that operated alongside German forces during anti-partisan campaigns in northern Greece. Although presented as a force fighting communist resistance groups, the unit soon became associated with reprisals against civilians, widespread looting, village destruction, and other abuses that left a lasting mark on occupied Greece. This documentary follows Poulos’s life from his early military career and participation in the turbulent politics of interwar Greece to his dismissal from the Hellenic Army after the failed Venizelist coup of 1935. It examines how the German occupation created opportunities for collaboration, allowing Poulos to reinvent himself as a political ally of Nazi Germany before becoming one of the occupation authorities’ most trusted Greek collaborators. The film explores the formation of the Poulos Verband, its relationship with the Wehrmacht, the SS Security Service, and German occupation authorities, as well as its role in anti-partisan operations across Macedonia. It also examines the experiences of Greek civilians caught between resistance activity and German reprisals, and the lasting impact of collaboration on communities throughout the country. As Germany’s position in the war deteriorated, Poulos and his battalion withdrew with retreating German forces into Yugoslavia and Austria, remaining alongside the Third Reich until its final collapse. After the war, he was returned to Greece, where he faced trial for collaboration and was found guilty. Drawing on historical research and contemporary accounts, this documentary examines one of the most notorious collaborationist formations in occupied Greece and the complex choices, loyalties, and consequences that shaped one of the darkest chapters of the country’s wartime history.

Even though the White House has failed in its court cases to meddle in state elections, it is still planning to seize ballots and worse. President Donald Trump’s cult-like supporters are embedded everywhere and poll workers and Democrats need to stop being in denial about that — at least according to one election security expert.

“This is where I depart from some of the happy talk that you sometimes get,” election rights attorney Marc Elias told MS NOW anchor Jacob Soboroff on Wednesday after Soboroff claimed if Trump tries to steal the election, poll workers will stop him.

“There’s a tendency for everyone to want to say, ‘Well, don’t worry, the poll workers will take care of it,'” Elias said. “Well, here are two problems for you. The first is that it’s a lot to ask poll workers to stand up to the federal government. It’s one thing if it’s a bunch of guys in polo shirts — jokers looking to maybe cause a little bit of disruption, but otherwise fine. But let’s imagine it’s not that. Let’s imagine it’s ICE agents with guns. Let’s imagine it’s people with much more aggressive tactics. It’s a lot to put on the poll workers. But here’s the second problem, and I need everyone to pay attention to this.”

He added, “There are a lot of really good election officials, but Tina Peters [a Coloradan imprisoned for trying to meddle in elections] was an election official. Republicans have been putting election deniers in key positions in key states and counties around this country. The election deniers aren’t just running for statewide offices. They’re not just running for Secretary of State — they’re running for, or being placed in, these local election official positions as well. So do I think that in Minneapolis we’re in good shape? Yes. But what happens when you’re in a state like Texas or Florida, where the Republican Party runs the state government but has also infiltrated a lot of these local county positions at a MAGA level? That’s where I worry it isn’t just going to be election officials standing up to the federal government. Remember, I mentioned we’ve won 21 cases — the Department of Justice sued 30 states. There were 20 states that turned it over voluntarily, and those are the places I’m, in some ways, more worried about.”

The states in question were “Iowa, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana, Texas, Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Missouri, Kansas and Montana.”

“It’s unbelievable, and that’s why I think you’re so right — you can’t just rely on the poll workers,” Soboroff told Elias. “You can’t just rely on the lawyers. You can’t just rely on other elected officials or election ministers who’ve been at this for years. It’s all hands on deck — a mayday situation.”
