'Napoleon Zervas' ( Arta, May 17, 1891 - 1957) was a Greek general and resistance leader during World War II. He organized and led the National Republican Greek League (EDES), a resistance organization against the Nazi occupation of Greece.
Originally a Venizelist, Zervas incorporated royalists into his movement who saw EDES as the only acceptable alternative to EAM, the Communist-dominated resistance movement. His activities were largely confined to Epirus, though he took part in the sabotage of Gorgopotamos bridge, which seriously hampered the German supply route to Rommel's Afrika Korps.
After Liberation, Zervas participated in Dimitrios Maximos' cabinet as Minister of Public Order and in Sophoklis Venizelos' cabinet as Minister of Works. Zerva was forced to resign in 1947, when details of his contacts with the German occupation authorities surfaced after being his troops attacked by the communist andartes . He is also accused by leftists as the head responsible of the ethnic cleansing of Cham Albanians situated in the Epirus region both in the south of Albania and in the northwest of Greece as a retaliation to the collaborationist attitudes of the Muslim Albanian speaking minority.
