You must know a lot about history how do you find these spots for then and now must be a lot of research nice job love it

[@IgnacioVeutroProductions]

Mario, thank you for your words. Yes, it is a job that takes time, but it is worth it when people recognize it, as you do with your opinion. Greetings from Argentina.

[@sc2win]

It seems like 10 years ago someone discovered this method of capturing history and it has captivated me ever since. I just can’t understand how, for example, you find a stone wall on the island of Crete to match it up to a photo from 70 years ago. Even if you lived in Crete it would be tough to do. Great stuff. Thank you!

Oh wow I am the first to see this and its a magnificent production and another superb soundtrack, I went to Heraklion with one of my sons many years ago and we were staying quite near Lions Square and walked past it a few times. All the best Ignacio

Thank you very much Russell, I try to do a serious job, respecting the memory of all those who fight and suffered for a more just world. It is incredible to think that so many atrocities have occurred in such a beautiful and currently touristic place as Crete. Greetings from Argentina.

I had the luck to stay in Buenos Aires for 3 days awaiting to catch a vessel it was amazing but nothing compares worldwide to Tierra del Fuego. The most magical and mighty place on the globe and believe me I have seen a lot of places on my 58 years of living.

[@IgnacioVeutroProductions]

@havanadaurcy1321, terrible story you tell. Greetings from Argentina.

[@richardbest577]

The Souda Bay photo at 2:17 is a made up photo. Quite famously so. Paratroops never landed there. Why would they? The only airfield, their objective, was Maleme. The airport on Akrotiri had yet to be built. The massed para drop was over Hill 107 from JU52 aeroplanes to capture Maleme airfield. Done years before photoshop was even a dream.

​@@kal.50bmg32helpless and soldiers do not mix. The germans had no problem killing thousands of greeks, slaughtering whole villages simply for trying to resist their occupation.
