German occupation of northern European countries in WWII was different than that of Eastern European and Balkan countries.

For example, in Greece, more than 10% of the population perished: 70,000 Jews and more than 700,000 non-Jews. So the suffering was much greater than Denmark. Most Greek families have at least one uncle, parent, or grandparent that perished during the German occupation. In my case, an uncle and both grandfathers.

So, I am not surprised that for a number of Greek politicians in their sixties or late fifties, the German occupation is still "fresh" in their minds, even though they did not experience it themselves.
