Hey Everyone!
On today's episode, we continue our red march to civil war, Myers and the SOE do their best to stop the Ahndartes from killing each other and to focus their energies on the occupiers, and a botched trip to Cairo shows the divergence in vision between those outside of Greece, and those within.
Enjoy!
