Greek fairy tales

Great video..

Τιμή και δόξα στους ΗΡΩΕΣ μας που έδωσαν την ζωή τους για την υπεράσπιση της ελευθερίας!

❤❤❤

One thing that foreigners don't understand about the Ellenes is that our commanding officers consider it their duty to save the troops because they consider them their own children. Seeing this the soldiers refuse to leave their COs and form a tightly knit unbreakable bond. This is why Ellenes are so hard to defeat in the battlefield even when totally outnumbered and surrounded. This stands in stark contrast to how other armies work around the world where commanding officers send their troops to die by the thousands in meatgrinders without caring.

Immortal!!! ZHTΩ Η ΕΛΛΑΣ 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷May His Memory be Eternal!!!

Οι ήρωες πολεμάνε σαν Έλληνες Γουίνστον Τσώρτσιλ

Η ΕΛΛΑΣ ζει και θα ζει αιώνια διότι γεννά Λεωνίδες Αλέξανδρους Καραϊσκάκηδες Κολοκοτρώνηδες Αυξεντιδες και Ιτσιους!!! Αιώνια η μνήμη σας!!!

Greeks..... As 2500 years ago... The same Heros

they were necessary 4 county to stop Greek. Greek was 7mio only without strong weapons and we are still Free.

Thank you for this video! Greetings from Greece!

253 days of resistance total

Hence, we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks

there was something that made the war much easier to greeks.their religion 1 died for 200 men of the german soldiers.the real definition of "protected by something divine".nowdays we call it god and we say god isn't real.ignorant us

I had the honor to work with one of his grand daughters in a company in Thessaloniki. I didn't know it at that time. Only after many years when I heard the story or Sargent Itsios and recalled details like the hometown of my ex-colleague and the facial resemblance I realized how close to the grand child of a real hero I had the honor to work.

The bunker was part of the Rupel defensive line on the Greco-Bulgarian border. The Germans were already on their way to Athens when Rupel surrendered. The irony was that Macedonia was put under Italian control, so they had to surrender to the enemy they had utterly defeated on the field of battle. Btw, there is no greater favor to Greeks coming from an outsider than invade their country. It's the only time Greeks unite. When left alone, it's all bickering and arguing with each other. When invaded, everyone unites in one fist. Go figure.

Ζήτω η Ελλάς, ζήτω η ορθοδοξία, ζήτω ο Ιησούς Χρήστος ! ✝️🇬🇷

There’s no more brave men in Greece. 🇬🇷. The government has sold us out.

και καπως ετσι η ελληνικη πλεμπα δεχτηκε μερκελ και εμβολιο. ντροπη.

Don't mess with Greeks!

Dimitrios Itsios from ano Poroia ( Δημήτριος Ίτσιος Άνω Πορόια) this April i had the honour to see his monument statue at his origin ano Poroia which is also my grandma's origin village and i had the lack to go after 20 years together with my grandmother and together we felt proud and emotional as we spoke about his heroism! He will be memorable as all the Greek heroes that fight against the conquer Never been forgotten!

We Greeks are the only people who never count the enemy in battle.

Please post more of these Greek resistance stories. So much of what happened during WW2 is not available or well known. Greece's wartime story should finally be told in full.

The amount of atrocities done by the Germans while occupying Greece is similar to the holocaust, they burned to the ground hundreds of villages including women and children, only the genocide of Palestine can rival it 😢

How was the conversation possible? Which language did they use? I doubt both of them spoke English, German or Greek..

That is why the Germans will hate the Greeks forever. Because they humiliated them with their bravery and destroyed their plans to dominate the planet. The delay in the advance of the German axis, due to the resistance of the Greeks, caused the Germans to invade to Russia in the winter and the rest is known history. Γι’ αυτό το λόγο οι Γερμανοί θα μισούν τους έλληνες για πάντα. Γιατί τους εξευτέλισαν και με την γενναιότητα τους κατέστρεψαν τα σχέδια να κυριαρχήσουν στον πλανήτη. Η καθυστέρηση της επέλασης του γερμανικού άξονα, λόγω της αντίστασης των ελλήνων έκανε τους γερμανούς να εισβάλουν στη Ρωσία το χειμώνα και τα υπόλοιπα είναι γνωστή ιστορία.

🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Υπάρχει μνημείο όπου αποδίδονται τιμές κάθε χρόνο στη γενέτειρα του στα Άνω Πορροΐα, Σερρών. Τιμή στους Ήρωες!

Great video! Thanks for letting us know better our history

If the Dodecanese was given to Greece was due to Stalin's will acknowledging the contribution of Greece to the war. Churchill wanted to give the islands to Turkey who declared war to Germany one month before the end of the war in Europe.

His illegal execution as a POW was perhaps the first crime of the invading Germany in the country.

ΤΕΤΟΙΟ ΣΤΡΑΤΟ ΕΙΧΕ Η ΕΛΛΑΔΑ ΕΝΑΣ ΓΙΑ 200

Μπορουμε να δουμε την αναφορα ΓΕΣ σχετικα με το γεγονος?

Itsios....Dimitrios Itsios.......unexpectedle not to say his surname.

Thanks for the video about the Hero Dimitrios Itsios (from my mother's town) Ano Poroia Serres Macedonia Greece!

you forgot to mention that albanians were collaborating with the italians and the germans against the greeks. In the battle of epirus in 1940, albanians wholeheartedly sacrificed themselves to help the fascists and the nazis to subdue greece

Itsios was commanding two strongholds (two machine-gun posts), leading 4-6 men (each machine post had 2-3 men). So, after the first battle - and realizing the battle WILL be lost (because the huge menpower from the Nazis), he ordered (like a "modern Leonidas") his men to flee, while he would stay put and give them covering fire (he chose to remain and die to his post). Like the video said, two of his 4-6 men refused to obay his order and remained with him... Itsios, now not leading the machine gun post but OPERATING HIMSELF the gun... he spend OVER 30.000-50.000 rounds with his machine gun (he changed 6-7 barrels because the heat!) and he killed an entire company (about 300) "Mountain Hunters" (Mountain Commandos) - some of the Nazis' famous "Brandenburgers" (Wehrmacht's Special Forces, something like the British "SAS", specialized for mountain raids). In first, when Itsios and his two privates surrendered, the commanding officer of the assault (a major) ordered his remained German troops to form a honor-salute tribute to the surrendered Greeks! But, after this short ceremony, the HIGHEST commanding officer (of the entire Division) arrived, that German GENERAL the video mentioned and HE EXECUTED Itsios - and for the rest Greek surprise, he LEFT the other two alive to leave (he didn't even order to keep the POW)... The German general claimed he did that because "he lost his temper" (by watching his dead troops). So...? So what? It was a war. Troops WILL be killed. He simple REFUSED to accept that (LOGICALLY!!!!!!!) a single machine gun post... killed so many!!! ...During the D-Day in Omaha beach, just a company of Germans were defending the beach - because as you probably know, the Germans expecting the Allies' invasion from Pas-de-Calais (a very close-by to England French region). So, just FEW machine-gun posts (with MG42, each post had 2 men) they SLAUGHTERED entire "waves" of the American Rangers!!! In fact, there is ONE SINGLE German soldier with the nickname "The Beast of Omaha", private Heinrich Severloh... who killed himself with his machine-gun OVER TWO THOUSAND American GIs... because his INCREDIBLE BEST of WWII machine-gun (MG42) could fire 1.200 rounds in a minute!!!!! He was captured POW... nobody killed him because "he was ungry for his kills"... and Heinrich Severloh retured to Normandy (as elder old guy) and HE MET A COUPLE old American veterans who THEY SURVIVED from his shots - they were operating on the beach HE WAS defending!

ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ

If you came across this video and liked it, then go and check documentaries about the HIDEUS crimes the Germans commited back then! They never paid the price, and never will be ABLE TO PAY! We don't forget the pain and misery you brought

Είμαι και εγώ περήφανος που είμαι Έλληνας, αλλά μην ξεχνάμε ποτέ πως πρέπει να επικεντρωθούμε λίγο παραπάνω στο να καταφέρουμε να σκέφτονται έτσι τα εγγόνια και δισέγγονά μας για τη δικιά μας γενιά. Το να είσαι περήφανος για τους προγόνους είναι μια κινητήρια δύναμη να τους μοιάσεις και να τους ξεπεράσεις, αλλά εγκυμονεί τον κίνδυνο να ταυτιστείς και - ως αποτέλεσμα - να επαναπαυτείς με αυτό. Ας γίνουμε όλοι οι καλύτερη δυνατή εκδοχή του εαυτού μας για τις επόμενες γενιές. Ας γίνουμε υπερήφανοι για τον δίκο μας εαυτό και τη δικιά μας γενιά. Και ας γίνουμε επιτέλους η πρώτη γενιά για την οποία οι μελλοντικές γενιές θα είναι περήφανες - όχι λόγω των πολεμικών επιτευγμάτων και του θάρρους - αλλά για τη σύνεση και την πρόοδο. Έτσι, για τη διαφορά.

I served as a green beret in the greek army and we paid honour to this location ...it was a proud moment and I was overwhelmed ...all the guys were..glory to our heroes glory to freedom

This make a movie about this story.

HELLAS
