How does it feel to know you ad your nation of Greece fought on the WRONG side of the War?

Thats right, WW2 accomplished 3 things.

1. It Spread Communism TO 11 nations and was barbaric.
2. It gave us World Government via the UN (Satanic)
3. It spawned IsraHell, the Apartheid State
4. 60 Million died over a border skirmish between Poland and Germany, Germany was divided after WW1 and Poles were killing 50,000 + Germans in the Dnzig, Hitlers please went unanawered.

‘Hitler will have No war, but we will force it on him, not this year, but soon.’ – Emil Ludwig Cohn in Les Annales, June, 1934

“Germany is the enemy of Judaism and must be pursued with deadly hatred. The goal of Judaism of today is: the complete destruction of the nation. We demand a complete blockade of trade, the importation of raw materials stopped, and retaliation towards every German, woman and child.” (Jewish professor A. Kulischer, Oct, 1937)

‘We have been at the bottom of not only the latest great war, but of every other major revolution in your history. Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours if we had left you alone’ -Marcus Eli Ravage, Jewish writer, Century Magazine, Feb 1928

thank you for sharing this part of European History with me. Our country, Hellas, that time, honored the purpose of life with the words OXI and AERA.
OXI was a big full of strenght NO to be conquered and AERA was the need of AIR to breathe freely.
No matter what happens, I will never stop feeling proud of my roots.

Thank you for reminding everyone of the 2nd world facts that many Nations have forgotten but History cannot but record the facts. On the coming 28th day of October it is an oportunity for the German Nation to settle its overdue reparations to the Greek Nations who fought so bravely to save the world and in deed Germany from his Tyron.
I am one of those alive of the second world War and shall not rest until jutice prevails and Germany settles its debts to the GREEK NATION.
THANK YOU

Apologies. I should say to the American government (because I can’t believe this is the will of the majority of Americans) over its handling of the Wikileaks cables and their bullying of another Australian citizen.

Having gone to Greece after the war I ssaw oxi written o0n all the mountain sides of Greece as we drove through. Found out later that I had an uncle who fou8ght during that time ans had a sign of cutting off the ear of the Italian and German soilders that they attack. Spent some time hearing the stories before he died years after the war. It is good to have such a record so well done so that future generations can feel the pride that we older patriots do. yasoo.

Whenever I am fortunate enough to be exposed to the titnanic struggles & relentless courage in the face of insurmountable odds of the Goliath sized adversary encountered by Greece during the advent of WWII & how this diminutive yet resilient nation would not bow to its might …….. fills me with pride & tears of deep respect for my ancestral heritage. When my father used to mention that Greece played a pivotal role in winning the war for the allies, I would laugh out of sheer ignorance. However, reading quotes from Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, De Gaul & even Hitler himself, glorifying the bravery & revering the staunch patriotism of Greeces’ fearless resolute stand in WWII swells my heart & drowns my eyes. Thanks for reminding me of the strenght & honour my Hellenic roots.

Konstantine,
I was drifted onto John’s blog and was astonished that a Greek living abroad put so much energy and empathy into depicting the Greek contribution to ending the II world war.
Then, in the comments I noticed your last name. Do you or your parents originate from
Tripolis in Peloponese? Your last name reminds me of the name of a cousin from Tripolis, the late Father Christos Tzimouris. If you see this blog I would appreciate that you let me know at mari_232@hotmail.com
REgards,
Catherine, Athens, Greece

I have to admit I am not a huge history person; as a matter of fact I avoid reading about it. However the information that you wrote about the Greco-Italian War was very interesting. Thanks for sharing
