Georges, Dennis

Dennis Georges, a member of the Greek Resistance Army, was chosen at the age of 19 to lead a guerilla movement against the Germans and Italians during WWII in the Kalamata and southern Peloponnese areas of Greece.  Dennis ran his guerrilla bands with a cool dexterity and continued to “abuse” the Italians and Germans with many close calls, all the while hiding out in the ruins of a ghost village located in the mountains above the village of Arfara. He eventually joined the Royal Greek Air Force and served after the war, eventually fighting in Korea.  He is the father of John D. Georges.
