Athan Karras - COMBAT - "VENDETTA"-Avenging Distomo 1 of 5

1964 Episode #2

Hanley and the men are rescued by a Greek colonel and his men. The colonel is very unconventional, angry and acts like a loose cannon.

The colonel hails from DISTOMO: a small farming village at a stone's throw from the sea, on the road leading from Athens to Delphi, where a brutal massacre was purpetrated by the Nazi occupying forces.

An SS division's so-called "expiatory measure" resulted in the extermination of 218 villagers: women, men, elderly people, toddlers, and babies as a retaliation to a partisan attack in the vicinity that claimed the lives of 20 Nazi soldiers.

See the documentary "A SONG FOR ARGYRIS".

This episode has been recently shown on the American Life cable tv network.

Telly Savalas does a great job in his role as a Greek colonel...and, while this episode does not feature the character of Sgt. Saunders, Rick Jason delivers the intensity as Lt. Hanley.
