moar sauce on colonel George Papadopoulos:
1967 Greek coup d'état
April 21, 1967
The 1967 Greek coup d'état took place on 21 April 1967, just weeks before scheduled elections, when a group of right-wing army officers led by Brigadier General Stylianos Pattakos and Colonels George Papadopoulos and Nikolaos Makarezos seized power in a coup d'etat.[1] The colonels were able to seize power quickly by using elements of surprise and confusion. Pattakos was the commander of the Armour Training Centre (Greek: Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης Τεθωρακισμένων, ΚΕΤΘ), based in Athens.

As exiled Greek intellectuals and leftists scattered across Europe, the regime was widely condemned by other Western countries, though it was supported by the U.S. government for its anticommunist stance.
