It was very touching and also goes to show that people don't need to look back thousands of years to our ancient Greek ancestors if they want to find examples of heroism and bravery.

wow, what a video... very touching.
I haved seen many tv shows about WW2 in channels as History Channel and they never talk about Greece, Thank's Prokomenos. :filaki3:

Thats a definite they never show Greece atleast here in the states which they should. It was Greece who had to fight 4 different countries like the video shows. It was Greece who delayed the Germans. Greece had a big impact on WW2 and no appreciation is shown to the Greeks . Just imagine if Greece put up no resistance to the Germans ? Imagine what an impact it would of had.

Absolutey Moscow would of been captured. The Germans might of eventually succeeded in capturing most of Russia as a whole.

I'm pretty sure that they were delayed into the brutal Russian winter. And the fact that most of Russia was backwards back then made logistics a nightmare for the Germans.

Thats a good point. Its difficult to a fight a war like that. Technology does not mean nothing when it comes down to it.

An example was that the couldn't move their tanks and supplies becasue there were a lack of roads. And in Greece, they couldn't handle the terrain.

They were in fact delayed. Hitler never wanted to go into Greece in the first place, it was on account of Mussolini's failure in Greece that the Germans had to go there. Hitler thought he would go right in and clean house, just like Mussolini thought. Both could have used some history lessons on the Greeks.

Anyhow, Germany went in encountered great resistance from the Greeks, Germany had to keep sending in more troops, more supplies, more weapons and they got completely sidetracked in Greece.
