Heinz A. Richter (born 1939) is a German historian, known for his work on the history of World War II in the Balkans, the history of modern Greece and the modern history of Cyprus. ==Biography== Heinz A. Richter was born on 18 March 1939, in Heilbronn, in northern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. He started reading Greek mythology at a very young age and, in high school, his professor of History "excited his interest for classical Greek antiquity."〔(Interview with prof. Dr. Heinz A. Richter ), ''Hypervasi'', 3 July 2012 (in Greek)〕 Richter studied History, Political Science and English Literature at the Heidelberg University. He was professor of Greek and Cypriot modern history at the University of Mannheim from 1991 up to 2003. In his book ''Griechenland im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1939-1941'', Richter provided a narrative account of the war in the Balkans from the Greek and Allied side, using published sources only.〔Hancock, Eleanor & Craig Stockins. ''(Swastika over the Acropolis: Re-interpreting the Nazi Invasion of Greece in World War II )'', Brill, 2013, ISBN 978-9004254572〕 Richter has commented also on the current state of the affairs of Greece,〔 Richter, Heinz A. ("Athenian Clientelism: The political culture of Greece and the root of the debt crisis" ), in ''Lettre International'' magazine, #096, Spring 2012. Retrieved 24 February 2015.〕 as well as Cyprus.〔Richter, Heinz A. ("The troika does not understand Cyprus" ), ''Handelszeitung'', 14 August 2012 (in German)〕 In November 2014, the University of Crete awarded Richter with a ''honoris'' Ph.D. for his historical work. The award provoked protests by Greeks who claimed that the German historian, in his work, has "smeared" the reputation of Cretan resistance and assigned "noble incentives" to the "Nazi invaders."〔("Richter earthquake in Crete" ), ''Ethnos'' newspaper, 21 November 2014 (in Greek)〕 The claims were rejected by the University's authorities.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heinz A.
