The Macedonian National Liberation Front//Народно Ослободителен Фронт на Македонија, was a Macedonian paramilitary founded in Aegean Macedonia in 1945 to fight against the Monarcho-Fascist government of the Greek state in hope for secession from or at least rights within Greece. The MNLF merged with the Communist, Democratic Army of Greece the following year in which it is estimated Macedonians made-up 60% of the fighting force. The DAG and MNLF were both defeated by the Greek government and their American-British allies in 1949, which saw the expulson of an estimated 30,000 children from their homes in Aegean Macedonia.

The Congress of what I am assuming to be the Slavo-Macedonian Liberation Front sometime during WW2. Anyone know why they called themselves 'Slavo-Macedonians'? Pretty odd for the time given other partisan groups didn't. I can only assume this was done for emphasis and was soon dropped.

Probably to endear themselves to Tito and the Yugoslavs. It was never (or hardly ever) used in common parlance.Originally posted by Liberator of Makedonija View PostIn the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.Comment

Before SNOF, there was apparently the 'Macedonian Anti-fascist Organisation', formed on the initiative of the Communist Party of Greece.

Aegean woman who fought in the Greek army spoke in Macedonian in Potsdam in 1949

Macedonian activist in Greece Stilianos Samartzis (Stilan Samardziev) publishes a little-known video from the delegation of the Democratic Army of Greece in Potsdam, Germany, recorded at a gathering of communists from several European countries. The video was recorded in 1949 and features DAG representatives Kostas Maheridis and Viktorija Zajku (Zajkova), where she speaks in Macedonian with a German translation, and refers to 40 Macedonian women who fight in only one of the DAG units.Comment
