Georgios Bakos
Georgios Bakos (, 1892–1945) was a Hellenic Army officer. Born in Mani in 1892, he became a career officer and fought in the Asia Minor Campaign. As a Major General, he commanded the 3rd Infantry Division in the Greco-Italian War of 1940–41. After the German invasion of Greece and the Hellenic Army's capitulation, he served as Minister of National Defence in the collaborationist government set up by Lt. General Georgios Tsolakoglou on 30 April 1941, and retained the post under Tsolakoglou's successor Konstantinos Logothetopoulos, until the Logothetopoulos cabinet's resignation on 7 April 1943. An ardent  Germanophile, Bakos helped in the formation of ESPO and tried, without success, to raise a Greek volunteer unit to fight along the German "Wehrmacht" in the Eastern Front. After liberation he was arrested and placed in Averof prison in Athens waiting trial. During the "Dekemvriana" events, a group of EAM-ELAS guerrillas under officer Stavros Mavrothalassitis attacked the prison. Bakos was taken prisoner and after a court-martial was executed as a traitor on 6 January 1945.
