Georgios Samuil (1894 – 1965) was a lieutenant general of the Hellenic Royal Gendarmerie, of which he was the leader from June 1950 to November 1952. In 1944, during the Decembers, he distinguished himself as the commander of the Athens Gendarmerie Regiment – Makrygiannis in the battle against ELAS (left wing resistance).

 

The Battle of Makrygiannis was a conflict between ELAS (left wing resistance) and the Gendarmerie supported by the British forces, which began on December 6 and culminated into the so called December Events (Dekemvriana).
