...Cabinet went to Colonel George Papadopoulos, the commander of the Athens garrison, who reportedly directed the force that seized the armed forces radio station, occupied the government buildings and arrested political leaders.

While the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches were both ingloriously compliant, many individual churchmen in particular were outspoken foes of the regime. Clemens Cardinal von Galen of Miinster denounced the Nazis' euthanasia program from the pulpit, halting, at least for a time, the mass murder of feeble-minded and spastic children.
