At the dawn of 28 October 1940, Greece rejected the italian demand to surrender herself. A cruel and inhuman fight on the mountains of the Greco-Albanian borders followed the italian invasion with Greece managing not only to resist, but also to make the italians draw back. The greek triumph against fascist Italy encouraged the free nations of the world to keep fighting, showing to them that the Axis wasn't unbeatable. Furthermore, the greek successes against Italy forced Axis to change its plans, giving enough time to Russia to prepare herself for the war, that ended up to the russian victory.

This contribution is presented in the draws of those days' newspapers and in historians' and leaders' quotations .

Music: Axion Esti, Mikis Theodorakis - Narration: Manos Katrakis

  • There is a great new book out titled: GETTYSBURG… OTHER TIMES. It’s about two soldiers and a nurse from other times meeting in Gettysburg on the first day of the great battle. People that are on this post would love it. It features the famous 300 at Thermopylae, and a fire-fight between Greek resistance fighters (EDES) and German soldiers…

    Check out the book at my YouTube profile (GETTYSBURGbook) or search Amazon.

    Cheers..

  • Η ποίηση του Ελύτη με τη φωνή του Μάνου Κατράκη κάνει επιβλητικό το αποτέλεσμα
