In 1932, a right-wing Irish organization, first called the Army Comrades Association (ACA), then the National Guard, and eventually merged into the Fine Gael Party, was started by Thomas F. National Guard - Blueshirts ( Na Léinte Gorma) The leaders of the group were Alexandre Giotopoulos, arrested in 2002 on the Island of Lipsos, and Dimitris Koufondinas, known as "the man with a thousand faces," who surrendered to police the same year. The group was dismantled with the help of an international task force led by Scotland Yard in 2002. Over 21 people were later added to the murder and kill list of 17-N, including American, British and Turkish diplomats as well as Greek policemen, businessmen and politicians.

Many of these groups were (and are very small) and don't exist any longer, but their flags continue to be used by other modern extremists. These are flags that many times "migrate" from group to group, many of which rapidly appear and disappear as they change their names, and this makes identification even more difficult. ![]() In the end I thought it important that they be identified for what they stood for, because many times they have been unknowingly displayed or incorrectly identified as historical by unsuspecting or uninformed individuals or flag companies.
