Small clip taken from the presentation of the book "52 Days 1943" showing a greek destroyer, a german ju-52 and a italian anti-submarine barrier.
All original images filmed,cut and soundmixed by HeyYouImage.

""52 Days 1943 is a historical photographic album recording the history of the Queen Olga, a Greek destroyer, and the Battle of Leros; a battle that began with the sinking of this legendary ship and ended 52 days later, when German forces mopped up the last pockets of resistance on the island. This album of never-before-published material was made possible by hundreds of photographs, over thirty hours of digital video, and underwater footage of the wreckage of war. The photographs are accompanied by short texts: sensitive, human tales of love, adventures, and executions related by Greek, Italian, English, and German participants; hard men with tears in their eyes, illuminating an unknown corner of history as they share the painful experiences of their youth for the first time.""

  • My family is from the island of Leros. My parents immigrated to North America decades ago but our connection to the island has remained strong. My great uncle (grandfather's brother) died in the Battle of Leros. The history of the siege of the island and the fall of the Vasilisa Olga is a story very near and dear to me. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get my hands on this video in hard copy/full length. Is there a website? Some sort of resource available? Please and thanks!

  • very good clip!

  • Cool vid

  • Nice video!

  • Have you ever dived to the wreck of HMS Eclipse, off the coast of Leros.

  • Great clip except for the end title.

    Should have been revealed in 2-3 cuts, also didn't like the last sentence -- thought the title was better closure.

  • god damn good clip

  • nice
