Imagica
Imagica was a group of Greek artists and writers who inspired Greek resistance against the occupation of Greece by the Kingdom of Italy.
Composition
Manpower
The exact numbers used by Imagica is debated still to this day, as many members were strictly used as propagandists to keep up morale. Greece never fully embraced the group, and thus the membership is merely speculated.
Tactics
Imagica was largely made up of artists, and thus few of their members were in direct combat. However, the unit also used their skills to keep morale of the Greek forces up, often times embellishing stories of Greek victories against Italy.
History
When Italy invaded and annexed Albania, they then turned their attention south to Greece. However, the Greek population proved surprisingly adept to defending their homeland against the Italians. Imagica was just one of many militia groups that sprung out of the World War, but proved to be a great asset for propaganda and morale. Imagica was formed by artists and writers wishing to see an end to the conflict, but not one that meant Greek subjugation. The idea was to use violence as a means to an end to bring about peace and Greek independence. This is echoed by their motto, and many of their numbers were utilized unofficially by the Greek government as posters, bulletins, and manifestos.
Historical loyalties
Imagica's loyalties remained in one key goal, Greek independence. aside from that, it included members from many political ideologies from royalists to partisans, all united in their position against Italy.
