German General Kreipe
The team that abducted German General Kreipe' would find out later that his staff was delighted to be rid of him, since he was highly unpopular!

Incidentally, I only recently found out that my uncle's (in-law, not maternal side of family) father was a high-ranking member of ELAS in Evrytania during the Occupation. He was executed during the ensuing Civil War.
