We continue with yet another historically documented dialogue between C.M. Woodhouse and Eddie Myers. Except for the comment about Fotis, of course XD

Their personal worries and estimations were that the ELAS is severely underequipped with really young men/women. Their view that EDES is only slightly better in both age and equipment was also pretty solid. Training was basically 48 hours for a demolition expedition that in present day is carried out by select SEAL-level soldiers.

They knew it. As we’ll see soon, they’ll discuss it with the generals, too.

Next update will be on Monday, May 16th! But you can read it right now if you’re my patron! Happy (belated) May Day!

Combat engineers receive the same demolition training. Lots of stuff can need blowing up with explosive charges and they do it all over including blowing bridges to deny them to the enemy. My great uncle was one in Patton's Third Army. Spent all his time either blowing or building bridges and always under fire.

Much respect to your great uncle!

You have to fight with the potential you have. Or give up.

It's easier to send kids (<30) to war. They're full of ideals and empty of self-preservation.
