Amalia claimed that the Bulgarian occupation in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace continued from September 9 to October 26, 1944, with the complicity of the EAM. She wrote that this period was omitted by leftist historiography and that, after the communist-controlled Patriotic Front took power in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian forces did not withdraw from the Greek areas that had been ceded by the Germans. According to her, the EAM followed a "brotherhood" line with the occupiers and had agreed to the annexation of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace to Bulgaria. She also claimed that Soviet officers and soldiers had arrived in Komotini, Xanthi, and Drama, saying they were waiting for units for operations in Thessaloniki. Amalia stated that George Papandreou informed Churchill, who requested from Moscow and Sofia the complete withdrawal of the Bulgarian troops; according to the post, they left on October 26. Amalia added that Bulgaria attempted in July 1946, at the Paris Peace Conference, to claim Western Thrace with the support of the USSR, but the British rejected the request. As sources, she cited works by V. Kontis and S. Sfetas, Andreas Papandreou, Vasileios Kontis, and Chris Woodhouse. #Βουλγαρία #Ιστορία #Κατοχή (translated)
