1935 Greek coup d ' état attempt The attempted coup of March 1935 ( ) was a Venizelist revolt against the People ' s Party government of Panagis Tsaldaris , which was suspected of pro - royalist tendencies . The coup was headed by Nikolaos Plastiras , and broke out on 1 March 1935 , but failed to establish itself in Athens and most of mainland Greece . The government quickly reacted , and loyal forces under the leadership of General Georgios Kondylis put the revolt down by March 11 , when Venizelos himself was forced to flee Greece . In the coup ' s aftermath , a military tribunal was set up , which purged the Armed Forces of Venizelist and Republican officers , and ordered the execution of two prominent Venizelist generals , Anastasios Papoulas and Miltiadis Koimisis , and major Stamatis Volanis on April 24 . Venizelos and Plastiras likewise were condemned to death " in absentia " . In the political sphere , the failure of the revolt marked the triumph of anti - Venizelist forces , and actually quickened the collapse of the fragile Second Hellenic Republic . Its final death blow was given in October , when the Armed Forces overthrew the government in a coup and Kondylis declared himself regent for the restored monarchy .

Chain Home Low Chain Home Low ( CHL ) was the name of a British radar early warning system , detecting enemy aircraft movement at lower altitudes than and summarily used with the fixed Chain Home system which was operated by the RAF during World War II . Officially , its designation name was AMES Type 2 ( Air Ministry Experimental Station ) and used higher power , operating at a shorter wavelength of 1 . 5 metres than Chain Home . Such systems could be mobile in which units were placed on trucks and could be strategically moved based on enemy movement , giving the RAF a wider option where and when they would engage or not engage the enemy . It was based on CD ( Coastal Defence ) and CA ( Coastal Artillery ) radar which were able to detect low - flying aircraft , leading to the development of CHL for the RAF . Later in World War II , centimetric Chain Home Extra Low ( CHEL ) radar were often co - sited with CHL sites . As the name implies , these sets provided radar coverage at even lower altitudes than was possible with Chain Home Low .
