A column of Greek soldiers, following the capitulation of the Greek Army in northern Greece, April 1941

Greek soldiers were not rounded up as prisoners of war and were allowed instead to go home after the demobilisation of their units, while their officers were permitted to retain their side arms.

The seizure of Thessaloniki by the 2nd Panzer Division and the advance of the XVIII Mountain Corps across the Metaxas Line led to the collapse of Greek resistance. 

On 9 April the Greek Second Army capitulated unconditionally. 

The number of prisoners of war was not established because the Germans released all Greek soldiers after disarming them.
