Summary
During the NS occupation of Greece, archaeological sites on Samos faced significant risks due to looting and lawlessness. The study highlights how the Heraion of Samos, a key excavation site for the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), suffered during successive occupations by Italy, Britain, and Germany between 1941 and 1944. It documents the vulnerabilities of archaeological artefacts under wartime conditions, emphasizing the broader impact on cultural heritage in times of conflict.
