When Italy capitulated to the Allies in 1943, the island was occupied by British commandos until the middle of 1944, when German forces took over. During the British departure, a fuel dump caught fire and spread to an adjacent ammo dump, whose detonation destroyed half of the homes on the island. Kastellórizo became part of Greece.

After France's defeat, Schinkel oversaw the Prussian Building Commission. In this position, he was not only reponsible for reshaping the (still relatively unspectacular) Berlin into a representative capital for Prussia, but also oversaw projects in the Prussian territories spanning from the Rhine lands in the West to Königsberg in the East. Old Museum (June 2003). Schinkel's style, in his most productive period, is defined by a return to classical Greek architecture, probably in an attempt to turn away from the Roman style that was linked to the earlier French occupiers.

In 1797 he was promoted lieutenant field marshal, and in the following year he accepted, at the personal request of the emperor, the command of the Neapolitan army. But with the unpromising material of his new command he could do nothing against the French revolutionary troops, and before long, being in actual danger of being murdered by his men, he took refuge in the French camp. He was promised a.
