The Battle of Kokkinia was a battle given by Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS) assisted by the people of Kokkinia against the Nazi occupation forces and the collaborationist Security Battalions. The battle resulted in the Nazi forces withdrawing from the area and staying away from it until August 1944, when the Executions of Kokkinia took place as a retaliation for the Battle of Kokkinia and more generally for the resistance of the working class suburbs of west Attica.
