Evz Evzoni (Historical designation for elite Greek light infantry and mountain units.) By 1940, Evzoni were no longer elite troops and the designation was merely traditional. Evzoni Regiments had a "double" numeration. (E.g. 2/39 stands for 2nd Evzoni Regiment which was simultaneously the 39th Infantry Regiment.) By the beginning of World War II, there were only the 2/39, 3/40, 5/42 Regiments. The 1st and 4th Evzoni Regiments no longer existed.
