The 999 Unwanted Units of the Wehrmacht consisted of German political and criminal prisoners. They were forcibly conscripted to be sent as reserves to various fronts.
Hundreds of these soldiers found themselves in Greece seeking the opportunity to fight against Nazism. They came into contact with the local population and resistance organizations and tried to sabotage the German army, while many defected to the partisans.
The fascinating and deeply tragic story of the 999 Unwanted Units is the core of Hans-Peter Klaus's profound study, under the scholarly care of Iason Chandrinou and Anna Maria Droumpouki.
