The ESPO (Greek: Εθνική Σοσιαλιστική Πατριωτική Οργάνωσις, lit.'National Socialist Patriotic Organization') [1] also mentioned as Hellenic Socialist Patriotic Organisation [2] was a collaborationist, pro-Nazi organization created in the summer of 1941 in German-occupied Greece, under the leadership of Georgios Vlavianos and later Dr. Spyros Sterodimas.[3] Its leading members belonged to the middle bourgeoisie and the military ranks, while its ordinary members belonged to the working class and some to the underworld.
