One trading card from the Red Menace collection, "27. Red Guerrillas in Greece" depicting Greek guerrilla fighters attacking a train from a hillside. Reverse side contains propaganda narrative detailing the "Greek communist guerillas" attempting to overthrow the government for three years. Notes that communists were cowardly if encountering a failure by seeking shelter in an allied country. Refers to Albania "and other Red nations" as arms dealers. Also that they were "subdued with the aid of United States equipment and advice."
