Zervas is best remembered for organising the [[EDES]] resistance movement, in September [[1941]], during the German occupation. Originally a [[Venizelism|Venizelist]], Zervas incorporated royalists into his movement who saw EDES as the only acceptable alternative to [[EAM]], the [[KKE|Communist]]-dominated resistance movement. His activities were largely confined to Epirus, though he took part in the sabotage of [[Gorgopotamos]] bridge, which seriously hampered the German supply route to Rommel's Afrika Korps.
