His Beatitude '''Damaskinos (Papandreou) of Athens and All Greece''' was the [[primate]] of the [[Church of Greece]] for two periods: in 1938 for a month and from 1941 to 1949 during the Second World War. He also served as regent of [[Greece]] between the retreat of the German occupation force from Greece in 1944 and the return of King George II in 1946. His rule marked the reconstruction of Greece after German occupation during World War II and the unrest spanning the beginning of the shooting phase of the Greek Civil War.
