Greek National Socialist Party
The Greek National Socialist Party () was a Nazi party founded in Greece in 1932 by George S. Mercouris, a former Cabinet minister. History Established in Athens in December 1932, the National Socialist Party was one of the far right groups active in the country at the time, others including the National Union of Greece (''Εθνική Ενωση Ελλάδος''), Iron Peace (''Σιδηρά Ειρήνη''), Trident (''Τρίαινα''), and National Sovereign State (''Εθνικό Κυρίαρχο Κράτος'', led by Skilakakis). However, it was distinguished by being the most fiercely supportive of Adolf Hitler, seeking to copy the Nazi Party in organizational and policy terms. The party emerged after Mercouris, who had previously shown sympathy to Italian fascist trade unions, split from Panagis Tsaldaris and the Populist Party over the need for a coalition government.
