The Kalavryta massacre , or the Holocaust of Kalavryta , was the near-extermination of the male population and the total destruction of the town of Kalavryta, Axis-occupied Greece, by the 117th Jäger Division during World War II, on 13 December 1943.
In early December 1943, the German Army's 117th Jäger Division began a mission named Unternehmen Kalavryta , intending to encircle Greek Resistance guerilla fighters in the mountainous area surrounding Kalavryta. During the operation, 78 German soldiers, who had been taken prisoner by the guerrillas in October, were executed by their captors. In response, the commander of the German division, General Karl von Le Suire personally ordered the "severest measures" — the killing of the male population of Kalavryta — on 10 December 1943.
