France
Italy
Spain
Greece
Answer
Greece was where Elizabeth narrowly escaped capture during the German invasion of 1941. The invasion forced the British royal family to evacuate from their residence in Athens, and Elizabeth, along with her sister Margaret, was almost trapped in the city as German troops advanced. However, they were able to board a ship to Crete and eventually made their way to safety in Egypt.
