Carrying out six wartime patrols in the Adriatic Sea, the Papanikolis sunk two Italian vessels. Following the German invasion, Iatridis led the Papanikolis to Allied-controlled Egypt. For the remainder of the war, he was assigned mostly shore duties, largely because of his often strained relationship with superiors.
