Konstantinos Logothetopoulos (Greek:Κωνσταντίνος Λογοθετόπουλος; 1878 – 6 July 1961^[1]) was aGreek medical doctor who becamePrime Minister of Greece, directing theGreek collaborationist government during theAxis occupation of Greece duringWorld War II.

Logothetopoulos was born inNafplion in 1878.

Logothetopoulos studied medicine inMunich and remained in theGerman Empire, practicing and teaching medicine until 1910, at which time he relocated toAthens. In Greece, he founded a private clinic and served in both theFirst Balkan War (1912–1913) and theSecond Balkan War (1913) as a doctor. He was discharged in 1916, resuming private medical practice until 1922 when he was again conscripted during theGreco-Turkish War to serve in the Army Hospital of Athens.

After the end of the war in 1922, Logothetopoulos became professor ofgynaecology at theNational and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Eventually he became Dean of the University. During his tenure at the university, he taught and assisted many young doctors in their studies including future politicianGrigoris Lambrakis.

When Greece capitulated toNazi Germany after the "Battle of Greece" duringWorld War II, Logothetopoulos, who spoke theGerman language fluently, had been the chairman of the Greek-German Council^[2] and was married to the niece ofField MarshalWilhelm List,^[3] was appointed Vice President and Minister of Education in the first collaborationist government of Gen.Georgios Tsolakoglou. After Tsolakoglou was removed from office, he served as Prime Minister between 2 December 1942 and 7 April 1943, when he was replaced byIoannis Rallis. His short tenure was marked by the start of the deportation of Greek Jewry, in which he played an ambiguous role.^[4]

When theWehrmacht left Greece in 1944, Logothetopoulos went with them to Nazi Germany. He lived with his wife and daughter in the small Bavarian town ofVilshofen an der Donau, where he practiced medicine.^[5] Eventually he was captured by theUnited States Army which surrendered him to Greek authorities in 1946. He was tried and convicted ofcollaborating with the enemy and initially sentenced tolife imprisonment, but was released in 1951.

Logothetopoulos died in Athens on 6 July 1961.
