The local dimension in the research of the 1940s: Aspects of mobilization in the Voio region in the period of german occupation
Abstract
The article examines the issue of mobilization during the Axis Occupation. It reassesses the wide-spread misconceptions about the reasons and motives of participating in the leftist resistance movement of EAM/ELAS. Based on a variety of sources (electoral returns, interviews, written memoirs), it attempts to interpret the high ratios of participation in the case study of the Voio region (Western Greek Macedonia) in a twofold way: by re-examining the hypothesis that the inter-war communist movement accelerated the resistance movement and by challenging the assumption that ideology was the main, if not the only motive of the local population to participate in the resistance.
