An initial presentation of the casualties-victims, of the "civilians", as it has been established to be characterized as those who do not participate in war as well as those who do not belong to the armed forces of a country. The casualties will be reported for the period of the Greek Civil War 1946-1949. We will try through the events and you went to highlight the other face of this conflict. The face of these civilians who did not fight actively in 1946-49 but participated n without their will in the hostilities. They were young, strong, children, mothers, sick and wounded. They are the ones who were not respected by the bullet of the "brother’s gun, the shell of the "friend's" gun, and the mine in the fields of the "relative". They were the children who left the arms of the mother for foreigners, they were the immigrants who took their “eye" for new opportunities, the if they were executed ( on both fronts), the political and mountain refugees, all those who were affected by the hostilities as a whole, those whom we will henceforth call "civilians".
