Greece limited its naval and military commitment primarily to the Balkans and Mediterranean, but it nevertheless deployed two Royal Hellenic Navy corvettes for Operation Neptune. Those vessels escorted convoys to Juno, Gold, and Sword Beaches. Like individual citizens of other Nazi-occupied or neutral nations, including some whose countries were unable to contribute units or vessels to the Allied Expeditionary Force, a number of Greek soldiers, sailors, and airmen served as volunteers with Allied Forces on D-Day.
