'''Konstantinos Logothetopoulos''' was a distinguished [[Greece|Greek]] medical doctor who became a Prime Minister of a quisling government during the Axis occupation of Greece.

Logothetopoulos was born in [[Nafplion]] in [[1878]]. He studied medicine in Munich and remained in Germany, practicing and teaching medicine until [[1910]] at which time he moved to [[Athens]]. In Greece, he founded a private clinic and served in the [[First Balkan War|First]] and [[Second Balkan War]]s as a doctor. He was discharged in [[1916]] resuming private medical practice until [[1922]] when he was again conscripted during the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)|Greco-Turkish War]] to serve in the Army Hospital of Athens.

After the end of the war in 1922, Logothetopoulos became professor of gynaecology at the [[University of Athens]]. Eventually he became Dean of the University. During his tenure at the university, he taught and supported many young doctors in their studies including future politician [[Grigoris Lambrakis]].

When Greece capitulated to the Germans in [[World War II]], Logothetopoulos, who spoke fluent German and was married to a German woman, was appointed Vice President and Minister of Education in the first quisling government of Gen. [[Georgios Tsolakoglou]]. He served as Prime Minister between [[December 2]], [[1942]] and [[April 7]], [[1943]] when he was replaced by [[Ioannis Rallis]].

When the German army left Greece in [[1944]], Logothetopoulos followed them to Germany. Eventually he was captured by the American army who surrendered him to Greek authorities in [[1946]]. He was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and sentenced to life imprisonment but was released in [[1951]].

Logothetopoulos died on [[July 8]], [[1961]] shunned by his fellow Greeks.
